I have a quick question, which unfortunately I am not able to confirm via a google search. I'm hoping someone with 401k knowledge far superior to mine could help put my mind to ease. I am calculating contributions through year-end, to hit at close to the maximum $17,500. I currently have $10,508.30 personal contributions YTD at job 1. I also have $3,548.40 personal contributions YTD at job 2. The job 2 figures are split, half is split in pre-tax, and half is split in a roth contribution ($1,774.20 in each, respectively.) I met with my financial planner to open a new ROTH, and he stated that due to the fact the roth is through the employer, it actually falls under the 401k contribution umbrella of $17,500, versus the roth limit of $5,500. Can anyone confirm this? If this is not true, I may exceed the $5,500 limit on roth contributions. If it is true, I need to adjust my witholdings down on the traditional contributions through year end.
