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.

Why Your MAGI Matters. You can calculate your MAGI at tax time, but you might want to estimate it during the tax year so you can plan accordingly. Among other things, your MAGI determines whether you can deduct contributions made to your IRA. As of the 2014 tax year, the cutoff for this deduction is a MAGI of $69,000 for single taxpayers and $160,000 for married couples filing jointly. If yours is less than these limits, you can take the IRA deduction.
