The maximum contribution is $4,000.\n\nIf you are 50 or older you can add another $500 "catch up" contribution.\n\nThe IRS has a good FAQ on the subject:\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq17.html

Anywhere from nearly nothing to well into six or seven figures.   It depends upon exactly what you are trying to do.  Your question is far to vague/general in nature to give a better answer.

You can make a contribution, but it depends on your income whether or not your contribution is tax deductible or not.  Go to http://www.irs.gov and download publication 590.  Check out the section, limit if covered by an employers plan.  It will direct you to the table for the income level phase outs.  It's pretty easy to read and understand.\n\nGood luck.

Rules on pensions just changed on 6 April 2006 and now you can only make a contribution in relation to 2006/07 during 2006/07, so no spreading anymore.  \n\nIf you made a big contribution you could reduce this year's tax to nil which would help to give you extra cash to pay earlier year's tax.\n\nBe aware you may well have incurred penalties by this stage.\n\nWorthwhile finding a tax adviser to help you.

It depends if married filling jointly and your AGI is over $145,950 (or $72,975 if married filing separately) your deduction maybe limited.  Any one donation $250 or more will need documentation.

It has to do with the maximum deduction you can take based on your adjusted gross income.  For instance, to a 50% charity, you can deduct contributions up to 50% of your AGI.  For a 30% charity, you can deduct your contributions up to 30% of your AGI.

The IRS max limit is per individual, not per plan.\n\nYou can contribute a max of $15,000 total between any number of plans or your salary which ever is lower.\n\nIf you only earned $10,000 you can only contribute $10,000 not the max amount of $15,000

My guess is about 50K/year.

It depends on the year you applied for it. You can check in the following website:

I will assume that the interest is simple and compounded annually, just to make the question easier.\n\nYou will reach $1million (US system) 97 years later, at the age of 115.  $1,035,358, actually.\n\nI used a simple formula with an Excel spreadsheet to figure this out.

A good question.  Get IRS Publication 17.  An individual can give you up to $11,000.00 in a year and there is no tax implication on that amount.  The amount you can receive in a lifetime keeps changing; it used to be 300,000 but has changed.  It is now set at $345,800.00 for the year against a lifetime credit of one million dollars.

Steve F's answer is dead on for 2006.  For 2005, the $5,000 standard deduction is added to one exemption $3,200 or two exemptions $6,400 to get the total deduction.\n\nThe total deduction for one exemption is $8,200 ($5,000+$3,200)and for two it is $11,400.\n\nTotal taxable income is $1,800 ($10,000-$8,200) for one and $0 for two.\n\nTotal tax is $180 (10% of $1,800) for one and $0 for two.\n\nSo, in 2005, your tax savings for claiming a dependent is $180.  For 2006, your tax savings for claiming a dependent is $155.  Something, but not much.  If the dependent is your qualifying child, you may get to claim the Earned Income Credit and/or Child Tax Credit to increase your refund, but that is a totally different topic.
