401k and 403b Plans

If you do not pay back you 401k loan, it will be looked at as a withdrawal. Which means not only will you be taxed on that money this year, you will also have to pay a penalty for early withdrawal.

How safe is TSA 403 (b) Fixed annuity?

Is TSA 403 (b) Fixed annuity insured ?

can i close my 403b account

a 401k plan is an life time money dealing plan you should have after you quit your job

Yes you can, but it must be paid back before leave company or you will be taxed and also be assessed a 10% federal tax penalty for early withdrawal. Assuming you borrowed before attaining age 59-1/2

The difference between 801k and 401k is 400k or 400,000 if k isn't a variable.

State & Federal income taxes on $11,000 in the year the distribution was taken.

The only accounts that can be rolled into a 401k plan are other old 401k plans. You can not co-mingle the accounts.

Once you rollover a 401k to an IRA or Annuity, you forfeit the right to put the money back into another 401k plan. However, there is really no benefit to putting the money back into a 401k plan in the first place. The money you roll in isn't matched, and your investment choices are typically somewhat limited with an employer plan.

591/2, I recently read you can take distributions without penalty at 55. articles.moneycentral.msn.com/RetirementandWills/InvestForRetirement/jobless-what-to-do-with-your-401k.aspx

less than half

you can see 401k details in "401(k)help center".....

Call & ask them or through an old statement or contact your state IRS.

You can always redeem a CD regardless. You don't lose the money, just future interest.

You can elect for either under most plans...butit is virtually always done as a contribution BEFORE tax, and not included in yoiur current earnings. That is in fact one of the big benefits..your 401k contributions aren't taxed going in...they arent' taxed while they grow...and only when you start to withdraw them on retirement, is what you take out taxed.

I have a claim on a car insurance policy with AIG. What are the chances of this claim being met?

Whatever monies you contribute to 401k you do not pay income tax on now. You pay tax when you withdraw it, after retirement. So you get the benefit of your money growing tax free. For instance if you contribute $100 per month to a 401k that money grows faster than if you contributed after tax where the amount would be say $75 per month. But be aware there are heavy penalties for using that money prior to retirement.

No...almost impossible.

The 401(k) maximums for 2009 was established based on a cost of living adjustment. The 2009 Basic maximum 401K contribution amount is set at $16,500. Catch up contributions allow a maximum of an additional $5,500. Catch up contributions would bring the total to $22,000 but you must be 50 years old and above for the additional allowed contribution amount. The 401k Basic maximum contribution figure is also true for the 403b (used by non-profits and educational institutions). But with the 403b there is also a $40,000 "catch up" provision and a 15-year (same employer) "catch up" provision. These are a bit confusing and are best explained by to the employee by the Third Party Administrator (TPA). In 2009 the entire 403b administration rules changed, too. The basic rules are explained more thoroughly at other sites on the web, but beware of the ever changing nature of these regulations and that postings on the internet are often out-of-date. One site, money-zine, (http://www.money-zine.com/Financial-Planning/Retirement/403b-Contribution-Rules/), which came up on a search on 3-27-09 and it is fairly comprehensive, doesn't include the 401k or 403b Roth after-tax contributions that can now be made or the TPA rules. To get the 'right answer' regarding 403b contribution maximums, please do more than Google searches and reading internet information. The IRS.gov site is helpful and has specific rules, but it really takes a knowledgeable TPA to give the correct information for an individual's specific situation. Per the referenced article another important point to remember regarding your 401k maximum contribution limit - the combined total maximum contribution that you can make each year to ALL 401k plans in which you participate, including standard 401k plans and Roth 401k plans - is the lower of: (1) the maximum percentage contribution limit allowed under each of your employers' plans, or (2) the dollar limits shown in the table above. For example, if your employer's 401k plan allows you to contribute up to a maximum of 10% of your salary, and you earn $50,000, your maximum contribution limit is $5,000, not the $16,500 contribution limit in 2009 that applies only to higher-paid employees

Mine did`nt in 2004

check wif ur work

A 401a plan , is set up by the company for a group of employees retirement and is solely funded by the company! Employees are not allowed to contribute there earnings, the company sets up a vesting schedule an makes the contributions based on a set amount or an incentive amount on a regular schedule..i.e . A company says everytime sales reach a magic number they will give each employee $250 into there 401a and so on unless the incentive goal is not reached.. A 401k is funded from the employees wages on a set amount or percentage and then some companies agree to Match employee to a certain percentage but any employees not in the 401k get nothing.
