Johan is a 25-year-old, single taxpayer with modified adjusted gross income of $18,500. During Tax Year 2020, he made a $2,000 contribution to his employer's 401(k) plan. He has never taken a distribution from any retirement plan. The maximum amount Johan may receive for the retirement savings contributions credit (Saver's Credit) is:

Answer 1

Johan is entitled to receive a maximum of $1,000 for the retirement savings contributions credit.

The amount of Saver's Credit claimed depends on the adjusted gross income and the tax filing status. In a single year, the claim made can be either 50%, 20%, or 10% for the first contribution of $2,000 made during the year for a retirement account. In other words, the maximum claim can either be $1,000, $400, or $200.

Moreover, the Saver's Credit could be claimed for contributions made to the:

1. 401k
2. 403(b)
3. 457 plan
4. Simple IRA
5. SEP IRA

Keeping in view the above information, Johan is a single taxpayer and his income is below $19,750 and therefore, he could claim contribution for retirement savings at 50%. This means his contribution is $1,000 ($2,000 x 50%).
