Plan Options: 401(k) Retirement Plan
A 401(k) is a savings and investing plan that gives you a tax break on money you set aside for retirement. Contributing to a 401(k) plan may be one of the most important things you can do to prepare for your long-term financial needs. Being on track to meet your financial goals will provide you and your loved ones peace of mind. A 401(k) plan allows you to contribute a portion of your compensation per pay period in order to prepare for retirement. If you are already contributing to the 401(k) plan, now may be a good time to increase your contributions.

What is a 401(k) plan?
401(k) refers to a section of the IRS Code that allows you to save part of your compensation on a Traditional PRE-TAX Basis. This lowers your current taxable income and helps your long- term saving grow faster. You may also choose to save part of your compensation on an AFTER-TAX Roth Basis. Roth contributions are taxed before they are contributed to the Plan. This allows tax-free growth and distribution contributions and the earnings on those contributions (assuming the contributions have been invested for at least 5 years and you have reached age 59 1/2).
