Cut Your Tax Bill with IRAs

Saving for retirement is essential for financial security and the government provides tax incentives. If you’re eligible, you still have time to contribute to an IRA, Roth IRA or SEP and benefit on your 2019 tax return.

Saving for Retirement in 2019

How much you can contribute to your retirement plans each year depends in part on the annual limits. Sometimes these go up from one year to the next, and sometimes they don’t. Learn what’s changed and what hasn’t for 2019.

Annual Contribution Limits for 2019

As 2018 is comes to a close, we all begin to look ahead to 2019. For 2019 many of the contribution limits increased from their 2018 levels. In calculating these, IRS compares the official cost of living increase from September of 2018 to September of 2017. Because the cost of living was higher in 2018 many of the indexed (for inflation) contributions, limitations, thresholds, etc in the IRS were adjusted.

Roth Conversions & TCJA

There still may be time to undo your 2017 Roth IRA conversion. But think twice before converting this year because you won’t have the same flexibility with a 2018 conversion.
