Can 401k loan rollover into a new plan?

No - When you're completing a rollover to a new plan, whether it be an IRA, 403B, 457, or 401K, it is considered to be a "Lump Sum Distribution" of the account. When you take a "Lump Sum Distribution" it automatically defaults the loan on your 401K. "Default" means that it is reported to the IRS as a taxable distribution - So you will be subject to tax and possible penalties on the portion of money not payed back as well as accrued interest.


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 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


Is FICA deduction before or after 401K deductions?

A deduction is made "pre-tax" if it avoids at least one form of taxation. Although contributions to "traditional" versions of 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans, as well as 457 plans, are "pre-tax" deductions for purposes of Federal income tax, they ARE subject to FICA withholding. In contrast, Section 125 ("Cafeteria Plan") healthcare premiums are deducted before FICA liability is calculated.


What are the key differences between a 457 plan and a 403(b) plan, and which one would be more beneficial for my retirement savings?

The key differences between a 457 plan and a 403(b) plan are the types of employers that offer them and who is eligible to participate. A 457 plan is typically offered by state and local governments and certain non-profit organizations, while a 403(b) plan is offered by educational institutions and certain non-profit organizations. In terms of which plan would be more beneficial for your retirement savings, it depends on your specific financial situation and goals. Both plans offer tax advantages and the ability to save for retirement, but the best choice for you will depend on factors such as your employer, investment options, and contribution limits. It is recommended to consult with a financial advisor to determine which plan is most suitable for your individual needs.
