Bonus - Tax Implications
Posted by Mr. Curious


About to receive a 100% bonus as a retention incentive. Already over the Social Security yearly limit. Anything I should due to limit Uncle SAM's take? TIA.

100% bonus, so doubling your yearly salary?
Max the 401k for the year, Max the wife's 401k, Max the Roth.

That is a hell of a retention incentive.

Defer as much as you can to Qualified plans, as mentioned before. I changed on my benefits package that more be held specifically from bonuses for traditional 401k contributions vs what comes from my salary/commissions. Employers typically w/h the max from your bonuses.

Thanks. I'm in a similar situation as the OP and this helps a lot. I do worry about what happens when they close the loophole though... think the IRS would put some sort of "clawback" for the high earners that took advantage of this?

I do this each year and try not worry about future tax code changes. They talk about taxing my 401k in a few years (or more) but I'm still going to max it out for the foreseeable future.
If there were a clawback, wouldn't it only be taxed on the difference between Roth IRA and Traditional IRA?

If you have a health saving account, can't you put some of it in there since its you don't pay tax on it? or am I totally wrong?
