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

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.

A deferred compensation plan is another name for a 457(b) retirement plan, or 457 plan for short. Deferred compensation plans are designed for state and municipal workers, as well as employees of some tax-exempt organizations.

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.

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.

DEFINITION. A 457(b) plan is an employer-sponsored, tax-favored retirement savings account. With this type of plan, you can contribute pre-tax dollars from your paycheck, and that money won't be taxed until you withdraw the money, usually for retirement.

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.

Qualified deferred compensation plans are pension plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), including 401(k) plans and 403(b) plans. A company that has such a plan in place must offer it to all employees, though not to independent contractors.
