Maria’s 403(b) Review: Identifying High Fees and Making Straightforward Improvements
A 403(b) plan, also known as a tax sheltered annuity plan (TSA), is a retirement savings plan that allows employees to defer some of their salary into individual accounts. These plans are offered by public schools and certain charities, such as churches and nonprofit organizations, and are like 401(k) plans.
Both 403(b) and 457(b) plans are tax-deferred retirement savings accounts offered by employers, but they have key differences in eligibility, contribution limits, and withdrawal rules.
Trusted guidance. Clear answers. No pressure.
We help nonprofit professionals understand their 403(b) plans with straightforward insights they can actually use.
