Yes. Participation is voluntary and can be adjusted year to year.

There is no long-term contract or permanent obligation. Taxpayers choose whether to make a qualified contribution during a given tax year, and that decision applies only to that year’s participation.

If you adjust payroll withholding or estimated payments to reflect the credit, those adjustments can also be modified or reversed in future years. Participation remains under your control.
