Taxpayers can deduct contributions to a traditional IRA is they meet certain conditions. If during the year either the taxpayer or his or her spouse was covered by a retirement plan at work, the deduction may be reduced, or phased out, until it is eliminated, depending on filing status and income. (if neither the taxpayer nor his or her spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work, the phase outs of the deduction do not apply.) Here are the phase out ranges for 2020. For single taxpayers covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is $65,000 to $75,000, up from $64,000 to $74,000. For married couples filing jointly, where the spouse making the IRA contribution is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase out range is $104,000 to $124,000, up from $103,000 to $123,000. For an IRA contributor who is not covered by a workplace retirement plan and is married to someone who is covered, the deduction is phased out if the couple's income is between $196,000 and $206,000, up from $193,00 and $203,000 For a married individual filing a separate IRS return who is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase out range is not subject to an annual cost of living adjustment and remains $0 to $10,000 Retirement contribution limit rises.
