401(k) Plans
- With a 401(k) plan sponsored by an employer, employees can elect to invest a portion of their wages in a tax-deferred account.
- Additionally, employers may contribute to a 401(k) plan through employer matching contributions or a profit sharing program.
- Our Financial Advisors can provide guidance and direction on your specific plan to assist you in developing healthy financial habits for retirement.
Qualified Retirement Plans
- A qualified retirement plan is an employer-based plan that meets IRS requirements and offers certain tax benefits.
- Examples of qualified retirement plans include 401(k), 403(b), and profit-sharing plans.
- Stocks, mutual funds, real estate, and money market funds are the types of investments sometimes held in qualified retirement plans.
- Taking distributions from a qualified plan before retirement age can often result in tax penalties.
Tax-Deferred Annuity
- A tax-deferred annuity is an investment product issued by an insurance company.
- Under current tax law, you do not pay taxes on the earnings credited until the earnings are withdrawn.
- An annuity can accumulate interest in three different ways: on the principal, on your earnings and on the earnings you would have otherwise paid in taxes.
- A tax-deferred annuity is available in both fixed- and variable-rate form.
- Tax-deferred compounding allows your money to potentially accumulate faster than similar taxable alternatives.
Simplified Employee Pension-Individual Retirement Account (SEP-IRA)
- With a SEP-IRA, the employer, not the employee, makes the contributions.
- Generally, the SEP-IRA is designed for self-employed persons operating as sole proprietorships, partnerships or corporations.
