Why aren't my Roth IRA contributions deductible?

[exnoss]

On the deductible amount I see a big 0. I was under the assumption that Roth IRA contributions were 100% deductible

Roth IRAs are not tax deductible.  They never have been.  However, the money in a Roth IRA grows tax free and if you wait until you're age 59 1/2 all distributions from a Roth are tax free.  So, no tax benefit now. Huge tax benefit after age 59 1/2.  A Traditional IRA or 401(k) is the opposite.  You get a tax deduction now. The funds grow tax deferred.  But when you take distributions, they are 100% taxable.

Thank you i did google it and I guess I confused tax advantaged Traditional IRAs with my Roth. Thanks again for taking the time
