Contributions made to a 401(k) plan by self-employed individuals are not deductible for Massachusetts income tax purposes

 

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, this Directive clarifies and prescribes the Massachusetts personal income tax treatment of contributions made on behalf of partners and other self-employed individuals under a so-called 401(k) plan. As explained in this Directive, under G.L. c. 62, § 2(d)(1)(D), partners and other self-employed individuals are denied any deduction for contributions to their 401(k) plans, irrespective of whether the contributions are elective contributions or matching contributions made on their behalf. mass.gov
