The Rothification of Retirement Accounts

  • Summary

  • In 2001, Congress approved the 402A rule to the US tax code, allowing employees to designate a portion or all of their elective deferrals as Roth contributions within employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k) and 403(b) plans. This designation means that employees pay income taxes on contributions upfront rather than when they withdraw the funds... or, in essence, paying tax on the seed instead of the harvest.

    In this episode David dives into the "Rothification" of retirement accounts... why it's important to understand the math behind this process from both the individual perspective and the federal government viewpoint. David will also share about how savers can use other ways to boost Roth IRA and 401(k) balances ahead of the 2025 tax deadline
