Retirement Accounts Were a Big Winner Under New Trump Tax Plan, According to Adam Bergman - IRA Financial Group Partner
NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 27, 2017 -- IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of “checkbook control” self-directed IRA LLC and Solo 401(k) plan solutions, announces that under the Trump Tax Plan, retirement accounts were the big winner according to Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group.
According to Mr. Adam Bergman, "The Trump tax plan nearly doubles the standard deduction for most households to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples. In addition, the tax plan eliminated state and local income tax deductions, as well as repealed the personal exemption. Accordingly, the increase in the standard deduction under the plan coupled with the elimination of the state and local tax deduction could provide many households with less incentive to itemize their income tax deductions, making the tax deductions such as the mortgage income tax deduction and charitable contribution tax deduction less attractive. Whereas, in the case of the reporting of pre-tax IRA or employer qualified retirement plan contributions, such as a 401(k) plan on the 1040 Income Tax Return, the IRS categorizes these deductions as above-the line deductions, meaning one can take the IRA or 401(K) plan deductions regardless of whether one itemizes or claims a standard deduction. In other words, even if the Trump tax plan causes more households to claim the increased standard deduction and to forego itemizing their tax deductions, since IRA and 401(k) plan pre-tax contributions are above-the-line deductions, the ability to benefit from the pre-tax income deductions associated with making IRA or 401(K) contributions will not be impacted by the Trump tax plan. In fact, making a pre-tax IRA or pre-tax 401(k) plan contribution could become even more beneficial to many income taxpayers under the Trump tax plan."
