403(b) Plans and Tax Deferral If you are separated from service, you can begin withdrawing funds, without penalty, at age 59½. Once you reach age 73, there are minimum withdrawals you must take known as required minimum distributions (RMDs).
All 403(b) plans are subject to Title I of ERISA unless an exemption applies.
Basic ERISA compliance requires employers provide notice to participants about plan information, their rights under the plan, and how the plan is funded. This includes ensuring plans comply with ERISA's minimum standards, recordkeeping, annual filing and reporting, and fiduciary compliance.
Current IRS regulations allow withdrawals of 403(b) monies, without penalties, when you: Reach age 59½, Retire or separate from service during the year in which you reach age 55 or later, Take substantially equal periodic payments, Birth or Adoption eligibility, Die or become disabled, or.
A 403(b) plan must generally allow all employees to make elective deferrals to the plan. Under the universal availability rule, if an employer permits one employee to defer salary by contributing it to a 403(b) plan, the employer must extend this offer to all employees of the organization.
Roth 403(b) contributions are not tax-deductible. The tradeoff is that you can withdraw from a Roth 403(b) without paying taxes on the distribution.
Distributions are reported on Form 1099-R. This form reports the total amount of the distributions and any federal or state income tax withheld. Form 1099-R is mailed by January 31 of the year following the distribution, and the information is also reported electronically to the IRS.
All 403(b) plans are subject to Title I of ERISA unless an exemption applies.
403(b) plans that are subject to ERISA must comply with DOL regulations, which may include obtaining an employee identification number (EIN) for the plan. Governmental, non-electing church and other 403(b) plans that meet the safe-harbor requirements under the DOL regulations are not subject to ERISA.
