What About Taxes on a 401k Plan?
There are two options to taxing a 401k plan:
Traditional IRA means taxes are taken out of the plan when the employee pulls money from the plan, not when it's put in the account.
Roth 401k means the funds are taxed as they're put into the account. This option is better for employees who know they may be in a higher tax bracket in the future, so that you're taxed at a lower number now than a larger one in the future.
