How do I file my 401k on my taxes?

Once you start withdrawing from your traditional 401(k), your withdrawals are usually taxed as ordinary taxable income. That said, you'll report the taxable part of your distribution directly on your Form 1040 for any tax year that you make a distribution.

FAQ

6 steps to managing your 401(k) Sign up (if your employer hasn't done it for you) ... Choose an account type. Review the investment choices. Compare investment fees. Consider contributing enough to get any employer match. Decide whether you want to supplement your savings outside of a 401(k)

Once you start withdrawing from your traditional 401(k), your withdrawals are usually taxed as ordinary taxable income. That said, you'll report the taxable part of your distribution directly on your Form 1040 for any tax year that you make a distribution.

A 401(k) is a tax-advantaged retirement savings plan. Named after a section of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the 401(k) is an employer-provided, defined-contribution plan.1 The employer may match employee contributions; with some plans, the match is mandatory.

You have the option of withdrawing all or a portion of your 401(k) balance after retirement. Keep in mind that withdrawals from your traditional (pretax) 401(k) contributions will be taxable as income. Under 59½ years old, a 10% early withdrawal penalty generally applies regardless of contribution type.

The $1,000 per month rule is a guideline to estimate retirement savings based on your desired monthly income. For every $240,000 you set aside, you can receive $1,000 a month if you withdraw 5% each year. This simple rule is a good starting point, but you should consider factors like inflation for long-term planning.

You can own a Solo 401(k) even with part-time self-employment income, provided that other eligibility requirements are met. For 2024, you can contribute up to $69,000. And if you are age 50 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $7,500, which adds up to $76,500.

One potential downside of the solo 401k is that after you reach a specific threshold of your balance in the account (currently $250,000 in 2024), you will have to file an annual form 5500 with the IRS.

You cannot set up your own 401(k) as an employee. The only exception to this rule is if you are self-employed, you can set up a 401(k) known as a solo-401(k) or an individual 401(k). You can set up your own retirement account in the form of a traditional or Roth IRA.
