As the year wraps up, it’s crucial to focus on retirement contributions to ensure a secure future. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the most of your retirement savings as the year ends.
1. Know Your Limits: For 2023, you can contribute up to $20,500 to a 401(k) and $6,000 to an IRA, with additional catch-up contributions if you're over 50.
2. Employer Match: Don’t leave free money on the table. Contribute enough to your 401(k) to get the full employer match.
3. Roth Conversion: Consider converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA for tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement.
4. Utilize IRAs: Even with a 401(k), you can contribute to an IRA. Contributions can be made until the tax-filing deadline of the following year.
5. Assess and Plan: Review your financial situation to decide if Roth contributions are more beneficial, especially if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement.
End-of-year is the perfect time to boost your retirement savings. Understanding contribution limits, leveraging employer matches, and considering all retirement account options are key.
