"For the past 5 years, an individual earning $40,000 per year, who was not covered by another retirement plan, has made annual contributions to an Individual Retirement Account. That individual has changed jobs at the same salary and has been included in that company's qualified retirement plan. Which statement is TRUE?"

The available options are:

A. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account must cease

B. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue and are an adjustment to income each year

C. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue but no adjustment to income is allowed

Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue and are an adjustment to income each year
