Abstract:

By combining tax returns and information returns in one database, the Statistics of Income (SOI) Division has made it possible to study trends in contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), as well as the participation in other types of retirement plans, by individual taxpayers. The authors will compare the number of taxpayers using traditional deductible IRAs, nondeductible IRAs, and Roth IRAs to the number taxpayers eligible to use them. For the nonusers, coverage by other types of plans will be shown as well. Trends in retirement savings by various age and income groups will be discussed.
