How can an IRA calculator help me plan for retirement?
An IRA calculator allows you to test a hypothetical contribution schedule and determine how much will be in your IRA when you retire.
Is a 457 IRA tha same asa roth IRA?
No, a 457 IRA is no the same as a Roth IRA. A 457 IRA is a type of retirement account that holds money pre-tax, so when the money is withdrawn in retirement, it is taxed as income at that time. A Roth IRA is funded with after tax dollars, and taxes are not assessed at the time of withdrawal.
Can you roll a 457 into a roth IRA?
No, you can only roll a 457 into a traditional IRA As of January 1, 2008, you can roll over pre-tax 401(k), 401(a), 403(b), and 457 plans directly into a Roth IRA
Can you roll an IRA into a 457?
I have the SAME question. $45k sitting in a traditional IRA earning 4% with CD's. I'm now with county govt. Want to get some money moved into the 457 plan (with ICMA) to earn possibly higher. Are there fees, expenses, penalties? Can it be done?
Can you close your 457 deferred compensation plan?
You should be able to do this but you may want to look at the plans rules and documents to determine your best method to do this for your benefit. You definitely can close your account but you really can't withdraw your funds before you separate from service (unless you have an unforeseeable emergency). Once you separate, you can close out your account by withdrawing it all or transferring it to another employer's 457 plan or to an IRA. Watch out though when transferring to an IRA...you can take the money penalty-free from a 457 plan at any age after you leave your job, but have to be 59 1/2 or over to avoid a 10% penalty when pulling money from an IRA (with some exceptions).

Can you contribute to an IRA if you are contributing to a 401k?
Yes, 2 separate things (accounts). The 401K investing doesn't affect the contribution amount allowed into the IRA. However, if you are contributing to a 401k, you are an active participant in a retirement plan at work. If your modified Adjusted Gross Income exceeds a certain amount, there are limits on how much you may deduct for a contribution to a traditional IRA. You may still make a full non-deductible contribution, however.
What is the largest amount that can be deposited in an IRA account?
$5000 if under 50 and $6000 if over 50 for a contribution. If a rollover from another IRA plan (i'e, retirement plan, then the amount is unlimited).
Can you contribute to an IRA if your company has you in a pension plan?
Yes, but part or all of your traditional IRA contribution might not be deductible, depending on your income (MAGI). Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, at all.
Is a 457 the same as an IRA account?
a 457 is like a 401k, but it is usually offerred by governments rather than businesses. an IRA is an Individual Retirement Account...with the emphasis on individual. Ira is not typically offered to employees by a business The withdrawal rules of a 457 are different from a 401k also...there's no 10% penalty for taking you money out before 59 1/2. Local and state government employers offer 457 plans to their employees but you have to be careful of costs. A lot of 457 plan providers charge a lot for their plans.

Can you contribute to both a Roth IRA and an IRA?
