**Please note: The IRS has developed a habit of retroactively changing tax law, so these limits are subject to change.
Also: Taxes have become (dramatically and unnecessarily) complicated. If you are having your taxes prepared by
a national tax preparation chain, you should strongly consider giving up all hope of having them prepared accurately.
