What is the 401(a) FICA alternative plan and how does it differ from traditional FICA contributions?
The 401(a) FICA alternative plan is a retirement savings plan offered by some employers as an alternative to traditional FICA contributions. In this plan, employees contribute a portion of their salary to a tax-deferred account, which can be invested for retirement. The main difference from traditional FICA contributions is that the 401(a) plan allows employees to have more control over their retirement savings and potentially earn higher returns through investments.

However, when you withdraw from your 401(k) in retirement, those distributions are subject to income tax, but not FICA taxes.
