Your employer will likely continue to contribute to these accounts with the bonus payout using the original contribution percentage that you set up. So if you already automatically contribute 5% of your gross income to your 401(k), your employer will probably take 5% of your bonus money and put it in your 401(k). If you are not careful, you could exceed your annual maximum allowable tax-deductible contributions to your 401(k).
As of 2013, the maximum contribution is $5,550, which includes both your traditional IRA and Roth IRA contributions. For example, if you put $5,500 in your Roth IRA, you can't contribute at all to your traditional IRA.f your employer offers a savings incentive match plan for employees â a SIMPLE IRA, for short â you're in luck because you can sock away more money each year for retirement. Simple IRAs are tax-deferred plans created by your employer. Traditional IRAs also offer tax-deferred savings, but you set them up yourself.
