401(k) Plans

A retirement plan that accepts employee contributions, and oftentimes matches them, 401(k) plans come in many shapes and sizes. Traditional, tax-deferred 401(k) contributions are made before income taxes are applied, and earnings and contributions are not taxable until they are withdrawn. Roth 401(k) contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but withdrawals, including earnings, are tax-free if certain conditions are met.

Advantages
  • Participant deferral of current income taxes is available or pre-payment of income taxes when using the Roth option
