"Limitations of the IRA deduction"

[Barsnikel]

Limitations of the IRA deduction :
 - "You can deduct all of your contribution if you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) are not covered by a retirement plan at work"

===========

\My company does not provide a pension plan but DOES provide a 401K plan, to which I contribute and they match.  For the purposes of the IRA deduction, is a 401K considered a retirement plan?

Yes, for the purposes of the IRA deduction,  a 401K is considered a retirement plan.
