403b question
« on: March 07, 2017, 06:22:41 AM »
If I have 2 jobs that both offer a 403b, is the $18,0000 limit for each one or for both combined?

I believe that would be, combined. Check the IRS regs but my understanding is you can not exceed that amount, If you are <50 yo. in a single calendar year. After 50, you can put in a max of $24k/yr.

Thanks, the IRS site was not very clear about this.

See Retirement Topics - 403(b) Contribution Limits:
Quote
Employees must combine contributions made to their 403(b) accounts with contributions made to all other plans in which they participate (other than 457 plans): 401(k)s and other qualified plans, and SIMPLE IRAs. The employee's total elective deferrals to all of these plans combined cannot exceed the annual deferral limit

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
