Retirement tax questions

Since all plans have their own features and benefits, it's not always easy to know.   Some are hybrid plans that do allow employee contributions.  Verify with your employer, but if it is purely a ''defined benefit pension plan'' that only takes contributions from your employer, it does not qualify.   To qualify for the credit, you must have made the contributions.    If the plan allows you to contribute, it is most likely a plan listed above.
