Does the exact money you deposit into a Roth IRA have to come directly from your paycheck?

In this video, I explain how the earned-income requirement for Roth IRA contributions actually works, whether money received as a gift can be deposited into the account, and what ultimately determines how much you are allowed to contribute.

I also discuss the potential 6% annual excise tax that may apply when someone makes an excess IRA contribution and fails to correct it.
