Tax Credit for Contributions You may be eligible to receive a tax credit for your IRA contributions. This credit will be allowed in addition to any tax deduction that may apply, and may not exceed $1,000 in a given year. You may be eligible for this tax credit if you are • age 18 or older as of the close of the taxable year, • not a dependent of another taxpayer, and • not a full-time student. The credit is based upon your income (see chart below), and will range from 0 to 50 percent of eligible contributions. In order to determine the amount of your contributions, add all of the contributions made to your IRA and reduce these contributions by any distributions that you have taken during the testing period. The testing period begins two years prior to the year for which the credit is sought and ends on the tax return due date (including extensions) for the year for which the credit is sought. In order to determine your tax credit, multiply the applicable percentage from the chart below by the amount of your contributions that do not exceed $2,000. 2019 Adjusted Gross Income* Applicable Percentage Joint Return Head of a Household All Other Cases $1–38,500 $1–28,875 $1–19,250 50 $38,501–41,500 $28,876–31,125 $19,251–20,750 20 $41,501–64,000 $31,126–48,000 $20,751–32,000 10 Over $64,000 Over $48,000 Over $32,000 0 2020 Adjusted Gross Income* Applicable Percentage Joint Return Head of a Household All Other Cases $1–39,000 $1–29,250 $1–19,500 50 $39,001–42,500 $29,251–31,875 $19,501–21,250 20 $42,501–65,000 $31,876–48,750 $21,251–32,500 10 Over $65,000 Over $48,750 Over $32,500 0 *Adjusted gross income (AGI) includes foreign earned income and income from Guam, America Samoa, North Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico.
