IRA Deduction Limits
When it comes to your traditional IRA tax deductions, things are rather straightforward. You get full IRA
deductibility, assuming you or your spouse does not contribute to an employer sponsored retirement plan.
Things do, however, get a bit more involved when you or your spouse is an active participant in an
employer-sponsored plan. In order to qualify for the maximum IRA tax deduction, there are certain income
limits for both individuals and couples that actively partake in these plans. You can find more tax deductible
IRA information as it applies to covered employer plans from the IRS. The tables below cover the IRA
deductibility based on modified adjusted gross income, active-participant status, and tax year.
