Laws that were enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 include new rules that could mean larger tax credits for some workers.

Bigger Retirement Savings Contributions Credit

The Saver’s Credit is an important tax credit that many American workers who save for retirement may be missing out on. Low and moderate-income savers who meet IRS requirements may be able to take a bigger tax credit (“Saver’s Credit”) of up to $2,000/$4,000 (singles/couples) for making eligible contributions to an employer sponsored retirement plan or IRA. To see if you qualify, visit www.irs.gov and enter “Do I qualify for the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit?” in the search box.
