401k contribution
« on: October 15, 2017, 08:55:09 AM »
Hi all,

I have a 401k through my employer but the match is terrible. However i am still interested in investing up to the full 18k limit for tax reasons. I have a self directed IRRA through my bank. I like to keep as much money within the BOA ecosystem as possible for rewards purposes. Am I able to contribute the difference between $18,000 - my contributions to my employer 401k to my bank IRRA and still get the tax deduction?

No.  And a terrible match is a lot better than no match.

Do you mean an IRA when you wrote IRRA?

Having a good match is a "nice but not necessary" perk.  See To 401k or not to 401k? That is the question. for more.

I did have both an IRA and IRRA. But I do not think that in kind distributions are available to me.
