Inflation is ravaging America’s economy as well as household budgets. Thankfully, when it comes to federal income taxes, inflation has some positive impacts. That’s because the IRS makes annual adjustments to certain tax limits and phase-out ranges. When inflation is high, as it is now, those adjustments can effectively increase the value of some federal tax credits and deductions. An example of this is the income tax brackets themselves.

The Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, is a retirement savings account that allows individuals to save and invest money for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. There are two primary types of IRAs: Traditional and Roth. In a traditional IRA, you generally get a tax deduction for your yearly contributions on your tax return, but the proceeds are taxed as ordinary income when they are withdrawn.
