I keep seeing that Biden will be “coming after your 401k”. Can anyone explain what will happen? And what is the best response if/when Biden gets in office?

The same thing you did when Obama was in office, watch it go up 150%.

Biden wants to get rid of the 401k tax deduction which you can max out at around 20K. He wants to replace it with a credit. There have been articles written about this by Forbes etc, It was also on Biden's website.

Same thing he did to it from 2008-2016. Fearmongering is at an all time high from both the right and the left.

Gridlock, not significant changes, will be more likely. That's probably okay for most issues.

I think the next 4 years is too soon for that. To think it will never happen is insane considering the path of wealth redistribution the Left is pushing for. However, I do think we are a few presidential terms away from something this radical taking place.

As long as the Republicans keep the senate you will have nothing to worry about. Biden has discussed taking away the tax break of 401 k's and IRA's.

Tax Foundation

This link does a great job of explaining the shift from deduction to credit. Single filers begin to be negatively impacted compared to current deduction at over ~40k and joint filers at ~80k. Depending on where the phaseouts land, you could see those numbers shift up or down.

The real problem is for small companies. If the owner (the people making the big bucks) don’t have as much incentive to save, then they will just drop the plan. Then no one saves.

Plans for big corporations are very different than plans for a small company.

Stock market more worried about Covid vaccines and relief packages than POTUS. It’s unlikely Biden can affect it unless himself or Congress start pushing socialist BS into law.
