How much tax will I pay on my 457 withdrawal?

Withdrawals typically are subject to a 20% mandatory federal tax withholding if the participant elects to directly receive funds eligible for rollover to another employer plan or an IRA.

Does a 457 count as income?

457 plans are taxed as income similar to a 401(k) or 403(b) when distributions are taken. The only difference is there are no withdrawal penalties and that they are the only plans without early withdrawal penalties.

What is the difference between a 401k and 457 plan?

457s are savings plans primarily offered to government employees, including state and local government officials, public school teachers, county and city employees, and first responders. By contrast, 401(k) retirement plans are usually offered by private enterprises. But some big government employees might offer both.

Do I need to report 457 on my taxes?

Therefore, annual deferrals under a 457(b) plan are not subject to income tax withholding at the time of the deferral. However, a participants annual deferrals during the taxable year under a 457(b) plan are reported on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, in the manner described in the instructions to that form.

What is a 457 plan and how does it work?

A 457 plan is a type of employer-sponsored, tax-advantaged retirement account available to state and local government employees, and certain (usually highly paid) nonprofit employees. Some 457 plans allow employees to contribute up to 100% of their incomes, and employers may make contributions to 457 accounts as well.

How are 457 contributions reported on w2?

Thus, distributions to an employee from a 457(b) plan sponsored by a nongovernmental tax-exempt organization are reported in Box 1 of the W-2. Note that this reporting is in contrast to the distribution reporting for a 457(b) governmental plan, where distributions are reported on a 1099-R, not a W-2.

Is 457 a retirement plan?

A 457(b) is a type of tax-advantaged retirement plan for state and local government employees, as well as employees of certain non-profit organizations.

Should I have a 457 and 401k?

Saving to both types of plans allows you to double your tax-deferred savings and reduce the income on which youre taxed. Having both types of accounts can be helpful if you need to withdraw money, because there are no early-withdrawal penalties on a governmental 457(b) plan.

Is it a good idea to have a 457 plan?

If your employer offers a 457(b) plan, theyre a great option for saving for retirement. While they might not have quite as many options as a standard 401(k), they still offer tax benefits and encourage employees to grow their nest egg.

What is the purpose of a 457 plan?

Plans eligible under 457(b) allow employees of sponsoring organizations to defer income taxation on retirement savings into future years. Ineligible plans may trigger different tax treatment under IRC 457(f).
