401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans*, and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
*Special considerations for some 457 plans.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)*
Traditional IRAs are pre-tax contributions, your money grows tax-deferred, and withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income after age 59 ½.
Roth IRAs are after-tax contributions, your money grows tax-free and you can usually make tax and penalty free withdrawals after 59 ½.
*Note that there are income phase-out thresholds for the Traditional and Roth IRA which have also increased. Our advisors and tax professionals can help determine if you are eligible.
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRA
A SIMPLE IRA retirement plan is for self-employee individuals, small business owners, or any business with less than 100 employees and no other retirement plan. Contributions can be made by the employee, but the employer is required to make either matching or nonelective contributions.
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan
A SEP-IRA retirement plan is for self-employed individuals and small business owners. Contributions are made by the employer only, not the employee.
