I'm taking a new job and I haven't maxed out my 401k for the year. My new job's 401k won't start until January. I still have ~$7000 to meet the max, usually my yearend bonus rounds it out my 401k. Any options open to me? I already have done the max Roth for the year. Can I do anything with an IRA or am I stuck?
Also Has anyone left a company and worked through the end of their fiscal year and still received their bonus after they left? I didn't know if this was a weird question to ask HR? Our fiscal ended Sept 30, however we never get out bonus until the end of December/January of the following year. I am also staying until the end of October to help them through an annual audit.
If I could get my bonus could it still go into my 401k after I left the company?
Thanks
