Does putting income in a 401K help when drawing SS?

Contributing to a 401(k) does not directly affect your Social Security (SS) benefits since SS is calculated based on your highest 35 years of earnings, not your retirement account contributions. However, higher contributions to a 401(k) can lead to higher overall income and potentially increase your average earnings over time, which could indirectly impact your SS benefit amount if it raises your taxable earnings in those years. It's important to consider that while 401(k) contributions reduce your taxable income in the short term, they do not count as earned income for SS calculations.
