How the Saver Tax Credit Boosts Low Income Retirement Savings

In this episode of Retirement Planning with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, also known as the Saver's Credit—a tax credit that can give low-to-moderate income savers up to 50% of their retirement contributions back at tax time. They break down income limits for 2026, credit tiers (50%, 20%, and 10%), and how the credit stacks with traditional IRA deductions. They use concrete examples: a single filer earning $22,000 who contributes $2,000 gets a $1,000 non-refundable credit; a married couple earning $43,000 gets a $2,000 credit on a $4,000 contribution. They also explain why the credit is non-refundable, what that means for filers with no tax liability, and how the phase-out ranges work. Listeners will learn how to claim Form 8880 and whether Roth or traditional contributions qualify.
