2014 Pension Plan Limitations Announced by IRS

Published on January 27, 2014

.

In short, elective deferrals to 401(k) plans remain the same as in 2013 ($17,500 plus $5500 “catch-up” contributions for people age 50 and over). Traditional and Roth IRA contribution caps are $5500 (plus $1000 for the 50-plus group). However, for these IRAs, the modified adjusted gross income limits for contribution deductibility have changed.

For business owners or self-employed individuals with SEP IRAs, the deduction for contributions goes up to $52,000 (an increase of $1,000 over last year).

These limits—such as contribution limits, salary deferral limits, and taxable wage bases—are important considerations as you discuss your retirement goals with your advisor or are determining how to include nontraditional assets in your self-directed retirement plan. All the income and expenses relating to the assets flow in and out of the self-directed retirement plan, which owns the assets within it.
