Yardley CPA Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Is anyone seeing contributions on a W2 to a IRC 414 (H) plan? In reading about it, it's similar to a 401K. In my specific situation of a MFJ client, it is included on the W2 in Box 14 Other. Should this be documented anywhere on the W2 entry screen? There is no drop down for a 414 (H). Thanks!

michaelmars Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 i don't use atx anymore but if i recall from years ago, you had to enter it on the state side. Each state treats it differently, for example its taxable income for NY so gets added back on the IT-201. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious more from a Federal end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Public defined-contribution pension, like a 401(b), for federal purposes. As Michael said, states treat it differently. NJ adds it back to income, also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Michael Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 In NY these contributions have to be added back into NY income. But then you do not pay NY income tax on any the distributions after you retire. Not a bad deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardley CPA Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 thanks to all who responded. I didn't know if the contribution to the 414 h resulted in any type of saver credit on the federal return. That's why I was wondering if there was a field to input the amount on the W2 input screen or on the 1040 itself. But I believe the 414 h contribution is considered an employer contribution, so I probably answered my own question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
