Eligible Americans could receive a government contribution of up to $1,000 towards their retirement savings when a new federal programme launches in 2027. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is reportedly notifying some taxpayers about the Saver's Match, but eligibility will depend on income, qualifying contributions, and other requirements.
