IRA contribution deductions. You may be able to deduct contributions to a traditional IRA, though there are some things that you have to think about. One of it is your income brackets. Also, sometimes I’ll meet people, and keep in mind guys, I’m not a financial planner, but from the tax standpoint, if you’re in the 12% tax bracket, you can still get saver’s credit if you make a little less, or you can get the growth for the rest of your life in a Roth. So make sure you talk to a financial planner before making the decision. Is it a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA? Save taxes today or save taxes later? Big question.
