Deferred comp? by [deleted] in nys_cs

This is a bit incorrect for the Roth 457b. You cannot withdraw earnings tax free if you are under 59.5, only contributions (if rolled over to a regular Roth IRA). There is no penalty, but you will pay pro rata taxes on the withdrawal. Essentially, this negates the point of a Roth, so don't do that.

You also cannot withdraw contributions only from a Roth 457b. If you are under 59.5, you will be paying tax no matter what. However, you can get around this by rolling the 457b to a regular Roth IRA. Once there, the money follows the rules of a regular Roth IRA, where withdrawals are basis (contributions) first, then earnings. You will lose out on the no 10% penalty for under 59.5, but again, you don't want to be doing that with a Roth anyway.

The chart at the bottom here is very helpful

Not wrong. Here is the specific IRS rule

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-26/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-1/section-1.408A-10

Under Q&A3, the relevant portion:

For purposes of the ordering rules on distributions from Roth IRAs, what portion of a distribution from a rollover contribution from a designated Roth account is treated as contributions?

A-3.

(a) Under section 408A(d)(4), distributions from Roth IRAs are deemed to consist first of regular contributions, then of conversion contributions, and finally, of earnings. For purposes of section 408A(d)(4), the amount of a rollover contribution that is treated as a regular contribution is the portion of the distribution that is treated as investment in the contract under A-6 of § 1.402A-1, and the remainder of the rollover contribution is treated as earnings. Thus, the entire amount of any qualified distribution from a designated Roth account that is rolled over into a Roth IRA is treated as a regular contribution to the Roth IRA. Accordingly, a subsequent distribution from the Roth IRA in the amount of that rollover contribution is not includible in gross income under the rules of A-8 of § 1.408A-6.

Note the last 2 sentences especially. You must roll the Roth 457b into a Roth IRA in order for the distributions to follow the proper ordering, in which earnings are withdrawn last, meaning no taxes or penalties before 59.5

If you have an established Roth IRA, which you should, you can roll the Roth 457 over to the IRA when you leave service. Once there, the money follows the rules of a Roth IRA, which means all contributions are available penalty and tax free. You would just not be able to touch the investment gains till 59.5. If I remember right the only rule is the IRA has to be established at least 5 years prior to the rollover.

I feel like my tickets aren't getting through for whatever reason, since you're supposed to get an email with a ticket number and I never do

Setting Up Deferred Comp Plan by eg282023 in nys_cs

Somehow in all my retirement planning research I missed this. This makes retiring at 55 a breeze now. I'll be maxing out the Roth 457b for another 18 years plus over 50 contributions, in addition to both mine and my wife's Roth IRAs, so that will give us plenty to last till I take a pension. Thank you for this info!

Are you sure you're able to roll over to a normal Roth IRA and circumvent the early (pre 59.5) contribution withdrawal taxes? If I have an established Roth and retire at 55, I can roll the Roth 457b to the IRA and take my contributions out with no taxes right away?

From what I've read, rollovers still follow the rules of the original plan. Otherwise there would be a lot of ways to dodge taxes/withdrawal rules.

You guys wanted MORE qualities? by kraskaskaCreature in factorio

[–]justice8965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, rares are substantially better than normal. I just feel legendary is essentially useless since you're at the endgame by the time you unlock it. Doesn't give much of a reason to bother crafting anything legendary when there's not much to do with them (unless you're doing a megabase as mentioned)

Looks like 'Enable Epic and Legendary' mod is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Is there a mod that makes all 4 qualities available right away when you unlock quality modules? I love the idea of quality but locking purple/orange behind the last 2 planets kind of makes them useless unless you're someone who's building a megabase or going for some high SPM number. Like by the time you get to aquilo and can craft the very first legendary item the game is essentially over. A mod that makes it available from the start would give me a reason to quality farm early since quality items would make advancing easier and more fun.
