Roth IRA contributions are not affected by 401k contributions in any way. The max contribution for 2008 was $5000 ($6000 if age 50 or above).

This is of course assuming you fall within income requirements for a Roth IRA.

When you retire how much do you pay in taxes when you take your money out of your 401k?

Distributions from a 401k are taxed like any other income. So, it depends on how much you are receiving each year. If you receive $30,000 a year from your 401k, you will be taxed the same as any person who makes $30,000 per year.


Can you roll over a 401K to a Roth Ira without paying taxes?

Yes. But it is much better and no taxes will be withheld if you have the trustee do a direct transfer from the 401K trustee to the IRA trustee and you do not receive any of the funds in your hand.

Pl tell you about your tax filing as you are an employee in a private company an your present an past company both deduct the non taxable income saperatly and now you are liable to pay tax for 2008-20?

Your question is fairly incomprehensible. But I'm going to take a wild guess about what you are asking: You worked two different jobs and had 401k contributions taken out of your pay by both employers??? And the total taken out was more than the maximum for the year??? If this happened before 2009, it is too late to do anything to fix it. If more than $15,500 was taken out before taxes in 2008 ($20,500 if you were over 50), you will have to pay tax on the difference. The IRS wants you to add the difference to your wages on line 7 of your Form 1040. For example, if you contributed $5000 too much, add $5000 to your wages on line 7. DO NOT remove the excess from your 401k. You can just leave the overcontribution in your 401k and let it grow until you retire. Unfortunately, you will need to pay taxes on it again when you remove it, regardless of whether you remove it now or 30 years from now, so there is no point in trying to remove the overcontribution. The deadline for trying to fix an overcontribution without paying taxes on it was April 15.
