Traditional vs. Roth 401(k) Funds
The Logrocket, Inc.. 401(k) Plan may contain both traditional and Roth contributions. It’s crucial that the QDRO specifies how each account type should be divided:
- Traditional 401(k): Contributions are made pre-tax, and taxes are owed upon distribution.
- Roth 401(k): Contributions are made after-tax, and qualified distributions are tax-free.
If both account types exist, the QDRO should clearly identify how much of each is awarded to the alternate payee. If not handled correctly, the alternate payee could face unexpected taxes or receive less than intended.
