If the plan year is different the fiscal year, there is a good chance two sets of compensation values will need to be used, one for deductibility purposes, and the other for plan allocation purposes.

This year, your adjusted gross income is $20,000 and you made cash contributions of $9,500 to which the 50% limit applies. You can deduct $10,000 (50% of $20,000) this year. Consequently, in addition to your contribution of $9,500 for this year, you can deduct $500 of your carryover contribution from last year.
