Congressional Spending Increases Retirement Savings Risks of Tax-Deferred Savings Plans

New Tax Provisions Target IRAs, 401(K)s, Roth Accounts and More

Tax-deferred savings plans are exposed to many retirement savings risks. New tax and spending packages included in President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda may end up penalizing Americans who have saved in tax-deferred retirement savings plans such as IRAs, 401(K)s and Roth accounts.

This means retirement savers can be left with less retirement income than planned due to a variety of retirement savings risks.
