Not exact matches
For some taxpayers, the
immediate tax deduction is more important during higher income earning years and less relevant during retirement
when they are in a lower
tax bracket.

tax at that time, then you don't have to worry about being in the higher
tax bracket (except for the income earned in the meantime).

When you invest money into

immediate tax deduction on the contributions.
