Benefits to you:

• Your taxable income is lower due to the contribution, which, in turn, may reduce your applicable tax rate and increase access to other deductions, credits and various tax breaks. Some examples of these are limiting higher taxes on Social Security benefits, receiving lower Medicare premiums and possibly reducing the 3.8% surtax on net investment income.
