IRS Increases 401(k) Limits

The Internal Revenue Service has increased the amounts individuals can contribute to their 401(k) retirement plans. The limit for each account has increased to $20,500 for 2022, up from $19,500 for 2021 and 2020, a 5.1-percent increase.

Those limits also apply to workers who participate in 403(b) paln, most 457 plans, and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan. The IRS also announced phase-out ranges for those contributing to traditional Individual Retirement Amount plans for 2022. For single taxpayers covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range rises to $68,000 to $78,000, up from $66,000 to $76,000. With married couples filing jointly, if the spouse making the IRA contribution is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range goes from  $109,000 to $129,000, up from $105,000 to $125,000  For an IRA contributor not covered by a workplace retirement plan and who is married to someone who is covered, the phase-out range increases to $204,000 to $214,000, up from $198,000 to $208,000. For  married individuasl filing a separate return who are  covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $0 to $10,000.
