Can you contribute to all 401a 403b and 457b if YES is there a total contribution limit?

Yes you can contribute to all three however the 401k and the 403b share the same elective deferral limit (402(g) Limit) of 16,500 plus 5,500 for over age 50. 457 have a different limit (it's call a 457 limit) plus a separate age 50 catch up (only for governmental 457 plans) so your totals are 16,500 plus 5,500 for 401k and 403b 16,500 plus 5,500 for 457. Total $44,000


Can you have a 403b and contribute to a 401k too?

Yes, but the contribution limit includes both, i.e., no more than $15,500 total in 2008 plus $5,000 "catch-up" if age 50 or over.

Can you cash out your 401K?

What are the tax implications if you rollover from an IRA to a 401K?

If you do a 401k rollover properly, there are no tax implications associated with the transfer. To do so, you will need to rollover your funds directly into an IRA from your old 401k. As a word of caution, if this is not done properly, then you could possibly be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate plus 10% on the amount.


Is there a way that I can find out about 401k interest rates?

If you do need to tap into your 401k in order to purchase your home it's best to leave it in tact. Borrowing money from your 401k will typically come with an interest rate of prime plus one percent currently. Although there are other additional fees that can add up as well.

What is the penalty for early withdrawal of 401K loan?

The penalty is 10%. All in all you will pay your tax bracket + 10%. Actually that is incorrect. The question was about a 401k loan. There are no taxes on 401k loans unless you default on the loan. If the loan defaults then yes you would owe 10% penalty plus Federal and State taxes at tax time.
