When I use leave during the year, the pay I received is taxed as earned income. Why would the lump sum payment for earned leave made when I retire not be considered earned income?

Thank you for following up on this. I don’t know where my head was when I answered the original question. It sure wasn’t on the Internal Revenue Code! Yes, your lump sum annual leave payment is considered earned income.

<p>The lump sum annual leave payment could be put into a Roth IRA for that year &#8211; up to the amount of the payment. Yes?</p>
