Eligible assets

The row below is the account-type dimension only. What this account may actually hold is the intersection of the account-type rule, the asset-class rule, any instrument predicates, and the institution’s authority asset scope.

Eligible investments only, § 530A(b)(3). Cash and money market funds are NOT eligible investments (Notice 2025-68 Q&A D-8). See the instrument predicates.

Instrument predicates

Class-level eligibility can say conditional. It cannot say what the condition is. These are attribute predicates on the instrument, stored in InstrumentEligibilityPredicate and evaluated continuously, not only at purchase.

Contributions

Contribution source drives two things: whether the amount counts toward the annual limit, and whether it creates basis. A free-text reason cannot express that.

Source	Counts to cap	Creates basis	Legal basis
PilotProgramContribution	No	No	I.R.C. § 6434. $1,000, once, born 2025-2028.
QualifiedGeneralContribution	No	No	I.R.C. § 530A(f). Funded by a State, the U.S., D.C., a tribal government, or a § 501(c)(3).
QualifiedRolloverContribution	No	Carries over	I.R.C. § 530A(e). Entire balance; carries over basis; must be the FIRST contribution.
Section128EmployerContribution	Yes	No	I.R.C. § 128. $2,500 per employee per year, not per dependent.
OtherContribution	Yes	Yes	I.R.C. § 530A(c)(2)(A). Creates basis. No compensation required.

There is no prior-year election. I.R.C. § 219(f)(3) does not apply. A contribution made January 31, 2027 is a 2027 contribution and cannot be applied to 2026. Every other IRA allows the prior-year attribution.
