Am I able to qualify for a deductible IRA if the only retirement plan my company offers is a 401K?

02 Apr

My question concerns only a fully deductible IRA, and the confusion over the IRS wording “to quality….you must not be eligible to participate in a company retirement plan”. My company does not offer a pension plan , but does offer a 401k plan, so does that disqualify me from a deductible IRA ? Basically the question comes down to the defination of a “company retirement plan”.

9. An insurance company sells single premium?

29 Mar

9. An insurance company sells single premium deferred annuity contracts with return linked to a stock index, the time-t value of one unit of which is denoted by S(t). The contracts offer a minimum guarantee return rate of 3%. At time 0, a single premium of amount P is paid by the policyholder, and P*y% is deducted by the insurance company. Thus, at maturity (in one year), the insurance company will pay the policyholder:
P*(1 – y%)*Max[S(t)/S(0), 1.03]

You are given the following information:

(i) Ignore any consideration of dividend payments.
(ii) S(0) = 100.
(iii) The price of a one-year european put option, with strike price $103, on the stock index is $15.21.

Determine y%, so that the insurance company does not make or lose money on this contract.

Can I move my 401k out of my company and into a seperate IRA?

26 Mar

I know you can move it out if you leave the company. If I am still employeed with my company, can I move my 401K to an IRA at a independent broker?
I would continue to contribute my monthy amount. I would just like to take all or some of my current amount. and just move it to a broker IRA. where I would have hundreds of choices.
Does anyone know how the law reads? I know by law if I leave the company they cannot keep my 401k. and I know if I leave I could leave it with the company, if they agree (Why anyone would do this is beyond me). But what if I am still currently employeed? How does the law read? thanks

Is it possible to move my 401K to a personal IRA without first leaving my company?

23 Mar

I am enrolled in our company-sponsored 401K with limited choices for funds. I would like to move it to Fidelity for a broader selection to suit the market situation. The only way I hear to do this is to leave the company, and I would rather not do that.

Thank you!

How do I choose a company to use for my retirement plan?

20 Mar

I plan to open a 403(b) in August. I have been told that mutual funds are better (and cheaper) than annuities, and so that is what I want to put my money. (I don’t intend this question to be a mutual fund vs. annuity debate). My school district sponsors 20 retirement planning companies, and their websites don’t seem to distinguish the competition. Some companies include Fidelity, Primerica, Vanguard, Metro Life, Equitable, Putnam, etc. How do I choose which company is best for me whether or not I end up getting mutual funds or annuities?
I teach in Florida. We have the Florida Retirement System (FRS). My school district puts money into that, which I can choose either to be a pension (with benefits after 6 years of service) or an investment plan (with benefits after 1 year). I choose the investment plan because I don’t know if I will be in teaching in the long-run or if I will at least be in Florida for 6 years to get the pension benefit. According to everyone, the FRS will not be enough, so we have the option of opening up a 403(b) plan with one of these companies to supplement the FRS money. There is no matching in this 403(b).
I am 23 years old.
