IS MY PLAN QUALIFIED

Are you asking about a qualified retirement plan?  Or something else?  Please clarify.

 

Qualified retirement plans may include:

 

  • 401(k) plans, including single participant or solo plans for sole proprietors,
  • 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity plans for employees of public schools or tax-exempt organizations,
  • An individual retirement account under section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity under section 408(b) (known as an IRA)

To determine whether your plan is a qualified plan (most but not all plans are), check with your employer or the plan administrator.

 

A qualified retirement plan is a savings plan that meets IRS and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requirements. It offers investors tax benefits like deductions and tax-deferred growth. 

 

There are two main types of qualified retirement plans:

 

  • defined benefit plans, like traditional pensions, and 
  • defined contribution plans, such as 401(k)s.
