403(b) plans sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations (such as tax-exempt hospitals and charitable organizations) are generally subject to ERISA but may choose non-ERISA if they meet specific requirements. In other words, they do not automatically qualify to be non-ERISA.
ERISA restricts certain actions related to how benefit plans are designed and administered. For example, it limits the types of investments that retirement plans can make, imposes fiduciary duties on plan administrators, and mandates specific reporting and disclosure requirements.
It allows for pre-tax contributions via salary deferrals to 403(b) retirement savings plans. Earnings on these contributions are not taxed until withdrawn. Your employer's plan document governs the 403(b) plans available to you.
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 414(h) (as of July 1, 1989), your required contributions are tax-deferred until they are distributed to you. These contributions are reportable for federal income tax only when you withdraw or retire from the Retirement System.
Plan sponsors with pre-approved plans are required to restate their entire plans onto that pre-approved plan document within a two-year period currently scheduled to open on January 1, 2025, and close on December 31, 2026. This window does not apply to individually designed plans.
If your pension IS taxable in NY, but were 59½ before January 1, 2024, you may qualify for a pension/annuity exclusion of up to $20,000. If you became 59½ during 2024, you can only exclude up to $20,000 of the pension income you received after turning 59½.
Sub section 403(b)(1) describes annuity contracts that may be made available to employees under a Section 403(b) plan. Sub section 403(b)(7) describes custodial accounts (mutual funds) that may be made available to employees under a Section 403(b) plan.
1. "I would like to know if Traditional IRA Contributions are taxable in New York State taxes?" - No, they are deductible from NYS income.
Employees of non-profit organizations can benefit from enrolling in a 403(b) plan, which is a type of tax-deferred retirement plan. Most contributions to a 403(b) plan are tax-deductible. Employers can make matching or other additional deposits to your account, which are also tax-deferred.
