Does investing in a 401(k) increase your tax liability?
If you have a “regular” 401k, your contribution is pre-tax, meaning that you get a tax deduction that lowers your income, resulting in a lower tax bill during the year. Your earnings are tax-deferred, which means that you don’t have to pay taxes on them until you start withdrawing from your account. ChaCha on!

About 401k
A 401K plan enables employees to save money for retirement in a tax free fashion until the money is withdrawn from the account upon the acceptable retirement age. The funds in the account can be invested in different stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets. This was created by Congress in 1981 and is named 401k due to the section of the Internal Revenue Code that describes it.
