One simple move can lower your tax bill and increase your retirement savings. Contributing to an eligible retirement account by the April 15, 2025 income-tax deadline will reduce your 2024 taxable income by the amount you contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An IRA offers you the flexibility to choose various investments to hold in your account. For 2024 and 2025, you can contribute up to $7,000 to an IRA\u2014$8,000 if you’re age 50 or older. You must have “earned income,” including money from wages, salaries, tips, bonuses, commissions, or self-employment, to contribute to an IRA. Your spouse can contribute to an IRA as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMPLE IRA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, or SIMPLE IRA, is a retirement savings plan designed for small businesses with 100 or fewer employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers must match employee contributions dollar for dollar\u2014up to 3% of an employee’s compensation\u2014or make a fixed 2% contribution for all eligible employees, even if an employee chooses not to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with a traditional IRA, you can contribute to a SIMPLE IRA until April 15, following the end of the tax year, and benefit from the tax deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOLO 401(K)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Solo 401(k) plans are designed to cover a business owner with no employees and his or her spouse. You can make elective deferrals of up to 100% of your earned income, or the annual contribution limit, plus employer nonelective contributions of up to 25% of compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributions can be made until the company’s tax return deadline, including extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial and tax professionals can help you determine which plan is right for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
