Answer:

Taxable investment income, such as interest, dividends, and capital gains, will qualify as compensation for the purpose of contributing to an IRA.

Explanation:

A traditional individual retirement account (IRA) is an investment account that offers tax-advantaged retirement savings. This means that contributions to a traditional IRA  are not taxed at the moment of contribution but rather at the time of withdrawing. An IRA is held in the individual person's name and may exist in place of an employer-sponsored retirement account.

Interest or capital gains from the investments activities are considered as income in IRA accounts. Any taxes due is deferred to the time of withdrawal, just like all other contributions.
