Retirement tax questions

@fanfare    Careful... pre-tax 401k contributions are handled different from other plan types as to whether they are excluded form NJ wages :

 

"The wages you report for federal tax purposes may be different than the wages you report for New Jersey purposes. ... New Jersey does not allow you to exclude from wages amounts you contribute to deferred compensation and retirement plans, other than 401(k) Plans"
