Is the money an employee deducts from their paycheck for a 401k plan deducted before or after income taxes are taken out?
401k deductions are before taxes and are not treated as current income for federal income tax purposes, but they are included as wages subject to social security (FICA), Medicare, and federal unemployment taxes (FUTA).

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A 401K plan enables employees to save money for retirement in a tax free fashion until the money is withdrawn from the account upon the acceptable retirement age.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.
