The Saver s Credit, also known as the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit, is one of the most appetizing rewards for low- to middle-income taxpayers who are thinking about stashing money away in a Roth IRA.
If you qualify, this IRS perk allows you to claim a credit up to $1,000 (single filers) or $2,000 (married couples filing jointly). This is a valuable addition to your tax return, allowing you to reduce or completely eliminate your tax bill.
