joint return or for taxpayers filing as a qualifying widow(er) is increased from $236,000 to $242,000. The adjusted gross income limitation under section 408A(c)(3)(B)(ii)(II) for all other taxpayers (other than married taxpayers filing separate returns) is increased from $150,000 to $153,000. The applicable amount under section 408A(c)(3)(B)(ii)(III) for a married individual filing a separate return is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $0. In light of the changes to the adjusted gross income limitations, under section 408A(c)(3)(A), the adjusted gross income phase-out range for taxpayers making contributions to a Roth IRA is between $242,000 and $252,000 for married couples filing jointly, increased from between $236,000 and $246,000. For singles and heads of household, the income phase-out range is between $153,000 and $168,000, increased from between $150,000 and $165,000. For a married individual filing a separate return, the phase-out range is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains between $0 and $10,000. The aggregate amount of qualified charitable distributions that are not includible in gross income under section 408(d)(8)(A) is increased from $108,000 to $111,000. The amount of qualified charitable distributions made directly to a split-interest entity that are not includible in gross income under section 408(d)(8)(F)(i)(II) pursuant to a one-time election is increased from $54,000 to $55,000. The annual compensation limitation under section 45E(f)(2)(C) for employees excluded from the calculation of the additional small employer pension plan startup cost credit for certain employer contributions is increased from $105,000 to $110,000.1 The limitation under section 72(t)(2)(K)(ii)(I) for eligible distributions to victims of domestic abuse from applicable eligible retirement plans is increased from $10,300 to $10,500. The limitation under section 401(a)(39)(B)(i)(III) on a qualified long-term care distribution from a qualified defined contribution plan with respect to certified long-term care insurance remains $2,600.
1 Pursuant to section 45E(f)(2)(C)(iii), for a taxable year beginning in a calendar year after 2023, this limitation is equal to the initial limitation of $100,000, multiplied by the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, determined by substituting “calendar year 2007” for “calendar year 2016” in section 1(f)(3)(A)(ii). Because the specification of a 2007 base period to be used for computing an adjustment that is first made for 2024 appears to be an error that has been identified as the subject of future legislative correction, the IRS will calculate and apply the limitation in section 45E(f)(2)(C) by substituting “calendar year 2022” for “calendar year 2007” in section 45E(f)(2)(C)(iii).
