| The new law provides a tax
credit to taxpayers for contributions to retirement savings. |
|
| This includes contributions
to IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLE, 401(k), 403(b) and 457 Plans. |
|
| The maximum annual tax
credit is $1,000 (I.e., 50% of the taxpayer’s deferrals up to $2,000). The credit is in addition to the
contribution being before income taxes. |
|
| To be eligible, AGI must be
under $25,000 for a single or $50,000 for a joint filer. |
