No. Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible. The IRS states plainly that Roth IRA contributions aren’t deductible on your federal income tax return. You put in after-tax money, so there is no upfront deduction like the one that can apply to a traditional IRA.
The trade-off is on the way out: qualified Roth distributions can be tax-free, and Roth IRAs are not subject to lifetime required minimum distributions for the original owner. Deductibility rules for traditional IRAs depend on income and workplace plan coverage; those limits do not create a deduction for Roth contributions.
