Retirement tax questions

That's fine.  Just realize that the most you can contribute as an employee with an elective deferral annually to an employer provided 401(k) is $18,000 in 2017 and $18,500 in 2018 if under age 50.  If age 50 or older there are catch-up amounts of $6,000 in both 2017 and 2018.
