The maximum 401(k) contribution is set by several sections of the Internal Revenue Code and its accompanying regulations. In general, participants who have not attained age 50 may defer up to $23,000.00 during the 2024 calendar year. Participants who have attained age 50 may defer up to an additional $7,500.00 as a “catch-up” contribution during 2024.

There may be additional plan limitations that may restrict your ability to take full advantage of these deferral limits. If you are a Highly Compensated Employee, you may be restricted to a lower deferral level by the plan’s Average Deferral Percentage (ADP) testing limits. You should consult with your employer to determine whether or not you are deemed to be a Highly Compensated Employee (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and your plan document).

Vesting represents the non-forfeitable interest in your account balance. It is directly tied to your length of service with your employer.

You are always fully vested in your 401(k) account and any funds you have rolled into your plan from another qualified plan. The vesting schedule for your accounts funded by employer contributions will depend on the vesting schedule selected by your employer. Please refer to your plan’s Summary Plan Description for the vesting schedule that applies to your account.

Participant statements are generated on a quarterly basis. You may obtain recent quarterly statements by logging into your account and going to the Reports section of the website.

You may not take distribution of your account until a “triggering event” occurs that allows for you to redeem funds from your account. In general, this means that your employment relationship has ended, or you have attained an age (no earlier than 59 ½) when your plan document allows for an in-service withdrawal.

If you qualify for a distribution, you will need to complete the necessary election forms. You may obtain the instructions, required IRS tax notice, and election forms by logging into your account at www.correllco.com and downloading the forms, or you may call the Correll Co. InfoLine (1-800-876-7160) to request them via email or U.S. mail.

Cash distributions from qualified plans are taxed as ordinary income in the year in which you receive the distribution. The tax rate you pay will depend on a number of factors, including your marginal tax rate. You should consult with you personal tax advisor to determine how a distribution would impact your tax liability.

Federal law requires that any cash distribution from a qualified plan that is an “eligible rollover distribution” (i.e., to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other qualified plan) must have mandatory 20% federal withholding applied at the time of distribution. This withholding is not a penalty, but simply applies as prepayment of your federal income taxes.

Additional 10% Tax if you are under Age 59 ½. If you receive a payment before you each age 59 ½ and you do not roll it over, then, in addition to the regular income tax, you may have to pay an extra tax equal to 10% of the taxable portion of the payment. The additional 10% tax generally does not apply to (1) payments that are paid after you separate from service with your employer during or after the year you reach age 55, (2) payments that are paid because you retire due to disability, (3) payments that are paid as equal (or almost equal) payments over your life or life expectancy (or you and your beneficiary’s lives or life expectancies), (4) payments that are paid directly to the government to satisfy a federal tax levy, (5) payments that are paid to an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, (6) payments that do not exceed the amount of your deductible medical expenses, (7) payments to a qualified public safety employee who separates from service during or after the year reaching age 50, or (8) a qualified reservist distribution from a deemed IRA or attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan or 403(b) annuity. See IRS Form 5329 for more information on the additional 10% tax.

Your employer must supply you with a copy of your plan’s Summary Plan Description shortly after you become eligible to participate in the plan.

An RMD is a mandatory withdrawal required under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9) for participants in a qualified plan who attain age 70 ½ and meet one or more of the following criteria:

In general, participants who have attained age 70 ½ and continue to perform service as an employee of the plan sponsor may defer these RMDs until they meet one of these conditions.

In most cases, the required withdrawal amount is calculated by dividing your account balance at the end of the previous year by the appropriate factor from the Uniform Lifetime Table. If your spouse is the beneficiary and he/she is more than 10 years younger than the participant, an alternative life expectancy factor is used.

The rules for RMDs from IRAs are significantly different from those covering qualified plans. You should consult with a personal tax advisor if you have any questions regarding these distributions from your IRA.
