Good to know and I will take anything I can get. With that said these numbers still represent peanuts.

Lets say, I expend energy to manipulate my retirement finances/income/expenditures to get the full $6000 deduction (I am 70 and wifey is 61). At a 22% tax rate, that saves me $1,320 for the year? This translates to 0.8% of $150K. If I balance that against our portfolio bouncing up and down by $30K on a daily basis, the $1320 savings doesn't appear all that significant.
