On Friday, August 25 the IRS released guidance (Notice 2023-62) addressing Roth Catch-Up Contributions that were part of the SECURE 2.0 Act passed in December 2022.
The IRS guidance granted a 2-year delay in the effective date that would require catch-up contributions to be made on a Roth basis for anyone earning more than $145,000. This comes as a welcome relief to plan sponsors, payroll providers, and recordkeepers who need additional time and guidance to implement this new requirement effectively.
The good news for employees who are catch-up eligible and earning $145,000 or more is that they can continue to make catch-up contributions on a pre-tax basis through the end of 2025.
The IRS guidance also addressed the technical error in the SECURE 2.0 Act that inadvertently eliminated all catch-up contributions. The IRS guidance just released indicates pre-tax catch-up contributions can continue to be made regardless of income through the end of 2025.
