Annual Limits

The IRS places limits on the dollar amount of contributions to retirement plans and IRAs and the amount of benefits under a pension plan. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires the limits to be adjusted annually for cost-of-living increases. ASC Trust is pleased to present this table for your convenience.
