My son recently started on his 1st job and I explained to him the difference between a regular IRA & Roth IRA. I also advised him to max his employer sponsored 401K plan and open a Roth IRA account account with either Schwab or Fidelity and start contributing to it each month upto $5,500 per calendar.
I now notice that he has opened an IRA account in Fidelity, a Roth IRA account in Schwab and is contributing $450/m in each of those accounts. As per IRS regulations, can he contribute $5,500 to an IRA and $5,500 to a Roth IRA for a total of $11,000 in one calendar year?
