Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) became tax-deductible in 1974 when the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was enacted. This legislation allowed individuals to contribute to IRAs and deduct those contributions from their taxable income, promoting retirement savings. The deductible nature of IRAs has undergone various changes since, particularly with the introduction of different IRA types over the years.
