Traditional IRA contributions

Up to $7,500

Can I Deduct IRA Contributions?

Short answer: Yes, up to $7,500 for 2026 ($8,600 if 50+), fully deductible unless you or your spouse have a workplace plan and your income is above the phase-out.

Contributions for 2026 can be made until the April 2027 filing deadline.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
