There\u2019s no better time than the beginning of a new year to review your retirement plan and, if possible, increase your contribution to the maximum allowed, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRIORITIZE PLANS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by maximizing contributions to your business\u2019s 401(k) or other company retirement savings plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up: IRA contributions, if you\u2019re eligible. Start with traditional tax-deferred contributions. Then contribute to a Roth IRA. Mind income limits for IRA participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider a regular taxable brokerage account once you\u2019ve exhausted tax-advantaged retirement accounts. You\u2019ll have the flexibility to use those retirement funds whenever and however you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re 50 or older, make catch-up contributions, if possible. An additional incentive to make maximum tax-deferred catch-up contributions to 401(k) Roth accounts in 2024 and 2025: The IRS delayed the SECURE 2.0 Act provision that prevents individuals earning over $145,000 from making pre-tax catch-up contributions to Roth 401(k) accounts until 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reprieve also gives you, as an employer, more time to implement the Roth 401(k) catch-up change and inform employees about this upcoming change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
