    69 Year old on pension; also earns W2

    A widow is on a generous pension and also works and get a nice w2.

    He put in $3500 into a traditional IRA and took the deduction.

    Since his current W2 job does not have any retirement plan he wanted to triple check that is was OK to collect a pension from one former employer and put money into an IRA from a second career.

    From what you state, I do not see any problem contributing to the IRA, but given the age of the person, he will have to start taking out the money in a year and a half when he reaches 70-1/2. If no SS invloved then you won't need to worry about any reduced deduction.

      Remember, in the year taxpayer turns 70.5 not only do minimum distribtuions start but taxpayer can no longer contribute to a traditional IRA. Roth IRS contributions are allowed.
