Tax Deductibility
If your income is under a certain level or if you (or your spouse) don't have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, your Traditional IRA contribution is fully deductible. If you (or your spouse) do have a 401(k) or pension plan, the tax-deductible portion of your IRA contribution may be limited. Use our IRA contribution limit charts below to see how much you can deduct.
