A member of 401k plan need not to pay income tax on the amount of contributions made towards this plan as this plan is tax-deferred. The amount contributed by an employee towards 410k plan is deducted while calculating his taxable income during that year. According to a survey carried out during year 2004, about $750 savings were made by every single individual by contributing towards 410k plan.
Financial benefits obtained out of 401k plan account investments are tax-deferred till these earnings are withdrawn by the employee. It gives an advantage to the participant of the 410k plan by allowing him to accumulate tax-free compound interest on his contributions and investment earnings over the years.
You have to pay taxes on the plan money only after you withdraw it. Normally, people withdraw it after retirement. Irrespective of the tax bracket to which employee belongs at the time of withdrawal from 401k plan, he is subjected to taxes at ordinary income rates. This criterion is based on the assumption that the individual would be in the lower tax bracket at the time of retirement. However, this assumption may not be true in all cases.
The IRS permits the tax deduction benefit for contributions made towards 401k plan with certain restrictions. To get this tax deferral benefit an employee must keep his assets in his current plan or other tax-deferred plan till he attains age of 59-1/2 years. If an employee affect withdrawal before attaining the laid down age condition, he has to pay 10% penalty tax. However, there are certain exceptions when this 10% penalty tax is not charged. These exceptions are:
- Withdrawals owing to death of the employee
- Withdrawals owing to employee becoming permanently and totally disabled
- Withdrawal due to separation of the employee from service after he has attained age of 55 years or more
- If the withdrawal is for deductible medical expenses
- Payment to spouses, children and dependents when ordered by a court of law under section 72(t) through qualified domestic relations order.

1 What is Roth IRA, and it's role in 401K Plan // Jan 30, 2008 at 1:38 pm
[…] If you convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA you will have to pay taxes during the year of conversion. These taxes are worth paying when you consider long-term saving benefits you are going to get by converting your IRA to a Roth IRA. Like other Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) Roth IRA also allow individuals, especially tax-payers who fulfill laid down criterion of income limits, to make tax-free contributions made to Roth IRAs as these contributions are basically made from post-tax money savings towards their retirement plans. You get all tax benefits applicable to Roth IRA whenever you make withdrawal from Roth IRA. Normally, withdrawals from IRAs are not taxed subject to certain rules. This aspect makes Roth IRA different from other traditional IRAs. It is considered as best way of converting your gross investment income into a non-taxable income. You do not get tax deduction on.
