AMDG Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi. I am looking at a 457(f) plan that permits after-tax contributions. Please help me - why would a person want to give their already-taxed compensation back to the employer? Deferral of taxation on earnings for a few years does not seem to warrant the risk of the sponsor's bankruptcy. What am I missing? Thanks! This board'S moderators and contributors are the best! P.S. All I could find on Google and elsewhere was a GuideStone plan adminstrator's guide that had a reference to 457(f) plans that permit after-tax contributions.

Bob the Swimmer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I agree even though over a long period of time, the earnings tax-deferred end up being a big percentage of the total account balance-- Still, this is only for those with too much salary income in their opinion. Since there is no RMD rule I'm aware of for 457(f) plans, you could technically stretch out a large payment over time--but the sponsor bankruptcy risk is more than most would want to bear.
