The maximum contribution an employer can make to an individual's 401(k) plan is governed by IRS rules and depends on several factors, including the overall contribution limits, the employee's compensation, and specific plan provisions.
As of my last update in 2023, here’s how it works:
Overall Contribution Limit: The total contribution to a 401(k) plan (including both employee and employer contributions) is capped at a specific limit set by the IRS. For 2023, this limit is $66,000 for individuals under 50 years old, and $73,500 for individuals aged 50 or older (which includes the $7,500 catch-up contribution allowed for older employees).
Percentage of Compensation: Employer contributions are also limited to 100% of the employee's compensation. This means that the total annual contribution from both the employee and employer cannot exceed 100% of the employee's salary.
Employer-Specific Plan Provisions: Within these limits, the actual amount an employer contributes can vary. It depends on the company's specific 401(k) plan provisions. Some employers match employee contributions up to a certain percentage of their salary, while others might contribute a fixed percentage regardless of what the employee contributes.
Highly Compensated Employees: Special rules can apply to highly compensated employees to ensure fairness and compliance with IRS nondiscrimination requirements. This might limit the amount that can be contributed to their 401(k) plans.
It's important to check your specific 401(k) plan details and stay updated with IRS guidelines, as these figures can change annually due to inflation adjustments and policy changes.
For more insights into 401(k) plans, retirement savings, and navigating employee benefits, you might find my video “Retirement Planning MADE EASY | Do THIS and RETIRE RICH!” very useful. It offers a comprehensive guide on retirement planning, including how to maximize your 401(k) contributions and benefits.
The amount of state tax withheld from a 401k at age 62 will depend on the state in which you reside. Each state has its own tax laws and rates. It is best to consult with a tax professional or refer to your state's tax authority website for specific information on state tax withholding for 401k withdrawals.
A person must begin receiving their Roth 401(k) payments by the age of 72, as mandated by the IRS. This is known as the required minimum distribution (RMD) age.
There is no specific retirement age for someone with a 401k. The retirement age typically depends on individual circumstances and goals. However, individuals can generally start withdrawing from their 401k penalty-free at age 59 ½, but may choose to continue contributing or delay withdrawals until later.
To find an old retirement plan, start by contacting your previous employer's human resources department. They should have records of any retirement plans you participated in. If you are unable to locate your previous employer or they no longer exist, you can search for unclaimed retirement funds through the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators' website or contact your state's unclaimed property office.
Money that you have put in a 401k is your money. If the company matched any portion then you typical will need to be employed to for a set amount of time to be vested, normally 7 years, in order to get the company matched portion. If you are no longer with the company then the custodial company for your 401k may charge you a service fee to maintain your account.
Most employers offer 401k plans where they will match a certain percentage of what you put aside. It is free for you to invest in your retirement. Every employer is different on their policies. You have to become familiar with your company's policy. As all policies it can be borrowed from, but I do not recommended.
That depends on the employer's plan provisions. Most match dollar for dollar up to a certain % (I have seen 2-6% from the employers I have worked with and for in the past). Check your employer's intranet site or call your benefits provider for details on your specific plan.
For IRAs, those 50 years of age and older can contribute $6000, while those under 50 only $5000. For 401k, those 50 and older can contribute $20,500, while those under 50 only $15,500. In 2009, both numbers will be indexed to inflation and increase in $500 increments.
That depends on what you mean by making someone participate.
401(k) plans are a special kind of profit sharing plan. From the perspective of the IRS, once an employee is eligible for a profit sharing plan, and has passed the plan entry date, that person is a participant in the plan even if no money is ever deposited for the individual.
Many employers have automatic enrollment plans that require an employee to take action if they don't want to participate. Employees who ignore the enrollment materials, or forget about the information provided, may feel as though they were forced to participate. When an employee chooses not to respond, he or she has essentially elected to participate at the default rate chosen by the employer.
You can rollover your 401K into any other qualified plan even if one is not offered by another employer. An employer offered plan is nice because there are generally no investment minimums. You can also look for an investment broker or ask at your local bank for options. It is usually just a matter of signing some forms after you have picked the fund.
In a traditional IRA you money is held by a custodian. You investment choices are limited to those that the custodians allow you to.
Self directed IRA's allow you more investment choices. You still need the
custodian, but they allow you more investment choices. You request a check for a specific investment like real estate and they'll send you a check.
Then there are those that give you full control of your money and give you check writing privileges, like the broad financial Ultimate IRA. You don't need to make any request from custodians, you simply write a check.
There are some prohibited transactions, like investing in collectors items.

One of the exclusions to the 10% penalty is disability. You have to considered completely disable without the ability to ever return to employment. However, you will have to pay taxes on the monies.

Yes, if the Roth is being transferred from one firm to another, then it is just a transfer. Simply request an account transfer form from the receiving institution, fill it out, and submit with a copy of a recent statement. If this is happen from Roth IRA to Roth IRA within the same firm, then this is just consider a consolidation. Neither of the above mentioned scenarios would result in any tax consequences/penalties.
