Description

Deferred compensation is an arrangement in which a portion of an employee's income is paid out at a date after which the income is actually earned. A Deferred Compensation Agreement is a contractual agreement in which an employee (or independent contractor) agrees to be paid in a future year for services rendered. Deferred compensation payments generally commence upon termination of employment (e.g., retirement) or death or disability before retirement. These agreements are often geared toward anticipated retirement in order to provide cash payments to the retiree and to defer taxation to a year when the recipient is in a lower bracket. Although the employer's contractual obligation to pay the deferred compensation is typically unsecured, the obligation still constitutes a contractual promise.

FAQ

PEBSCO is the largest, most experienced administrator of deferred compensation plans in the United States, serving over 2,500 government bodies with over 320,000 participants. In the State of Illinois PEBSCO administers plans for 65 jurisdictions.

A deferred compensation plan allows a portion of an employee's compensation to be paid at a later date, usually to reduce income taxes. Because taxes on this income are deferred until it is paid out, these plans can be attractive to high earners.

The main distinguishing factor between 457 and 401(k) is how the retirement plan is offered. 457 plans are common in government entities such as state governments, as well as non-profit organizations. In contrast, 401(k)s are offered by private companies to their employees.

Deferred compensation plans are funded informally. There is essentially a promise from the employer to pay the deferred funds, plus any investment earnings, to the employee at the time specified. In contrast, with a 401(k), a formally established account exists.

If you participate in a deferred compensation plan, you can contribute a portion of your salary to a retirement account. That money and any earnings you accumulate are not taxed until you withdraw them.

Deferred compensation plans come in two types qualified and non-qualified. Qualified retirement plans such as 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, are offered to all employees and are taxed when the contribution is made to the account.

A 457(b) plan is offered through your employer, and contributions are taken from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, which lowers your taxable income. Unlike a 401(k) or 403(b), if you leave a job or retire before age 59½ and need to withdraw your retirement funds from a 457(b), you won't pay a 10% tax penalty.

Deferred compensation is a portion of an employee's compensation that is set aside to be paid at a later date. In most cases, taxes on this income are deferred until it is paid out. Forms of deferred compensation include retirement plans, pension plans, and stock-option plans.

You can take the distribution in a lump sum or regular installments, paying tax when you receive the income. You can also arrange to withdraw some of it when you anticipate a need, such as paying for your kids' college tuition. While the IRS has few restrictions, your employer will probably have their own rules.
