Series 65: Contributing To An IRA

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Contributing to an IRA

The government puts limits on IRA deduction amounts. All contributions must be made only from earned income, as opposed to passive income. Earned income typically means wages, or as the IRS puts it, taxable compensation. (Unearned income includes dividends, capital gains, and interest on securities; social security benefits; unemployment benefits; child support; rental income; and inherited funds.) Traditional IRA contributions have been limited to $6,000 per individual for 2019, but an additional $6,000 can be contributed to the non-working spouse’s IRA

I just passed the Series 65 exam – thanks, Jeremy! Your excellent and enjoyable book and challenging practice exams-and-quizzes were my only resources. This exam kicked my butt, but I was able to accomplish the only essential task – simply "to pass" – because of the thoroughness (and the plain English and occasional humor) of these two essential test prep materials. Here's my warning -- don't underestimate the difficulty of this exam! I highly recommend that fellow Series 65'ers keep taking the practice exams and quizzes until they can comfortably get a score of 80+ before scheduling their exam; you need to go into the exam room with the confidence that this crucial simulated test-taking experience will provide. I'm so grateful for your help!

I passed the Series 65 today. Thanks so much. The Series 65 Exam Simulator and the iPhone app were my only study instruments. I didn't have any other study materials. Granted, I know that you encouraged me to not use the exam simulator as my sole source, but I found your practice tests to be more difficult than the actual exam. I had taken the series 65 in 1994, but it is a different test now. I received an 89%, finished 55 minutes early. I just took your exam simulator tests over and over. Funny thing, I was getting in the 75% range on your exams. Never broke 80%. Great apps! I really appreciate your generosity in extending my subscription to complete my prep. You are a good man. Thank you.

I am so happy to say that took my Series 65 Exam and passed on my first attempt! All thanks must go to Solomon Exam Prep and its materials. I read the Study Guide cover to cover 3 times, took notes and took what felt like endless practice quizzes, but I must say that I found the practice questions more difficult than the actual exam! I cannot recommend Solomon Exam Prep enough!

Thank you Solomon! I passed the Series 65 today on the 1st attempt. Same result as on the Series 63 I passed last year. The Solomon video lectures and exam simulator was awesome. It not only helped pass the test but helped me really understand all the material.

I passed the series 65! I used the Solomon exam prep Material to take the series 65. I had previously used the Kaplan material and did not find the materials to be that good. The book, audio tape and exam question bank were amazing. It was hard to go to the center wearing a mask during this Coronavirus time period. I don’t think I would’ve passed this Series 65 without Solomon. Thank you
