The saga of 401(k) catch-up contributions under SECURE 2.0 is well known. Beginning with catch-up contributions to be made next year, employees whose Social Security wages (W-2, Box 3 wages) exceed $145,000 this year can make catch-up contributions on a Roth, after-tax basis only. And then there’s the teeny, tiny glitch of Congress dropping the section of the tax code allowing any catch-up contributions.
