If you make certain contributions to an employer retirement plan or an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), or if you contribute to an Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) account of which you are the designated beneficiary, you may be able to take a tax credit.

The amount of the saver's credit you can get can be as low as 10% or as high as 50% and is generally based on the contributions you make and your adjusted gross income. The lower your income (or joint income, if applicable), the higher the credit rate; your credit rate also depends on your filing status. These two factors will determine the maximum credit you can take.
