Tax Question

[Gunslinger]

Ok so I'm doing a "Tax Estimator" and there is a block for "Saver's Credit" wich is defined as:

Saver's Credit

The Saver's credit is a credit for people with low incomes who contribute to a retirement plan such as an IRA or a 401(k) plan. The credit is a percentage of contributions up to $2,000. The maximum credit is $1,000 per person.

No credit is allowed if any of the following apply.

Your adjusted gross income is more than $25,000 ($37,500 if head of household; $50,000 if married filing jointly).

You were under age 18 at the end of 2005.

You are claimed as a dependent on someone's (such as your parent's) 2005 tax return.

You were a full-time student during 2005.

You can use our Savers Calculator to estimate your credit. Take the result you get in that calculator and enter it here.

Now I deduct 5% of my pre-tax income into what the Federal Govt calls a TSP (thrift savings program)  Considering I fall into that "low income" category Does my TSP fall under the "saver's credit"?   Thanks in advance!

According to this it is...and he appears to have "back filed" for previous years too.

Thanks curv, that's exactly what I was looking for.  I get the max exemption as well.
