Your' Earned income' is pay you receive for work you perform, such as salaries, wages, tips, and professional fees. Your earned income is included in your adjusted gross income (AGI), along with unearned income from interest, dividends, and capital gains. If you have earned income, you're eligible to contribute to an individual retirement account (IRA).
