Retirement Savings Contribution Credit is a tax credit allowing eligible contributions to an employer sponsored retirement plan or an IRA become tax deductible. A percentage of your qualifying retirement contributions are determined by using federal form 8880.
Qualifying retirement plans are Traditional and or Roth IRA contributions, and salary reduction contributions to most employer sponsored retirement plans (401k). You may include certain voluntary after tax plans as well.
You cannot claim this credit if any of these circumstances apply to you:
You were born after January 1,1985
You are claimed as dependents on another persons return
You are a full time student
