Can money be rolled over a 401K to Certificates of Deposit?

Yes, if the Certificate of Deposit is inside an IRA account or another 401k account.

If you are eligible to take a 401k distribution, you could take the money and buy a regular CD, but you would pay the same taxes and penalties that would apply if you didn't roll the money over.

But you can roll a 401k over into another retirement account such as an IRA at a bank and buy a CD with the money in the new account without any taxes or penalties as long as you kept the CD in the IRA account.

What is a simple 401k?

Just like the Simple IRA plan, Simple 401k's are plans designed for the small business owner with 100 or fewer employees. And, just as with the Simple IRA plan, there is a two-year grace period for budding businesses, if the business goes over the 100-employee limit.

Under Simple 401k's, employees can elect to defer some of their compensation. But unlike a standard 401k plan, you the employer must make either:1. A matching contribution up to 3% of each employee's pay, or

2. A non-elective contribution of 2% of each eligible employee's pay.

No other contributions can be made. The employees are totally vested in all contributions, including those made by the employer to the employee's account.

If you establish a 401k-Simple, you:

  • Must have 100 or fewer employers.
  • Cannot have any other retirement plans.
  • Need to file a Form 5500 annually.

Is the 2008 interest earned on a Traditional IRA counted as interest income on your 2008 income tax submittal?

No. All taxes on interest, dividends, and capital gains in a traditional IRA are deferred. No taxes are due until you withdraw from a traditional IRA, when it is counted as ordinary income (not income which is distinguished by whether it is from interest, dividends, or capital gains), which is taxed based on your adjusted gross income in the year they are withdrawn. If you withdraw before age 59.5, you owe an additional 10% penalty.

Contributions to a Traditional IRA made either in 2008 or on or before April 15, 2009, are deductible from your 2008 taxable income. However, there are limits to these contributions which depend on a host of factors. You cannot contribute more than $5000 total ($6000 if you are age 50 on December 31, 2008) to both a Traditional and Roth IRA. If you make over $105,000/year ($159,000 if married filing jointly), your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is reduced or eliminated. However, no restriction based on income exists for a Traditional IRA. You can always contribute $5000 (or $6000 if age 50) to a Traditional IRA.

What is the maximum 401k contribution per month?

There is no limit set by IRS on a per month basis, however there is an annual limit to your contributions. Some employers do create restrictions on how much of your salary you can contribute, but that varies from employer to employer.

Assuming that you want to maximize your 401k for the year and you want to contribute an even amount per month, then you would contribute $16,500/12 = $1,375 per month. This does not include your employer match.

How do you find your 401k?

The best way to start is by calling your regional office for the department of labor and talk to a benefit adviser.

How much are taxes due on cashed in 401k?

If you are under 59 1/2, 10% will be withheld.

Even in cases of hardship, this money is best left where it is for retirement, particularly if you are young. It should be the last resort. If you leave it as it is, it will grow as the economy improves. Based on stocks, you would be taking a beating from selling at a low point plus the cost of the penalty.

You maxed out your 401K in 2008 how much can you contribute to a roth IRA in 2008?

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.

Can you rollover a 401k into a roth IRA?

You can roll a 401k plan over into a Roth IRA. However, when you do so, you will have to pay ordinary income tax on the amount rolled into the Roth.

Even so, a Roth IRA will usually perform better over time, as the money not only grows tax free, but is taken out tax free as well.

There are some great calculators out there that will show you the impact of conducting this rollover. See attached link.

Are 401K contributions deducted from Wages on the W-2?

Yes, if you are contributing pre-tax. For example; you make 30,000 during the year, and you contribute 6% to your 401k on a pre-tax basis, so you contribute a total of 1,800. You would be taxed on 28,200, and that would be reflected on your W-2.

How do you collect your 401k on disability?

Most 401k plans offer for a "Disability Withdrawal" while you are still considered an active employee. You would want to call your plan information line, see if a withdrawl of that type is availiable, and follow their procedures from there.
