IRS Releases 2020 Contribution Limits

November 06, 2019
On 11/6/2019, the IRS officially released 2020 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plan contribution limits. These limits largely mirrored industry predictions that have come out over the past few months. Employees will be able to contribute a maximum of $19,500 into those retirement plans next year, up from $19,000 this year. That increase also applies to the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan. The catch contributions were also increased  for employees aged 50 and older who participate in all of these plans. It goes from $6,000 to $6,500.
