There is no maximum age for participating in a 401 (k) plan. If you're over 72 and still working, you can contribute to your employer's 401 (k) plan to take advantage of the benefits offered by your plan and receive equivalent contributions from your employer. In the past, if you were over 70 and a half years old, you would lose the ability to contribute to a traditional IRA. However, under the new law, there are no age restrictions.
Additionally, those over 70 and a half can now rollover their retirement funds into a gold IRA without incurring any gold IRA rollover fees. Nor is there any age restriction for people over 70 years of age to contribute to a 401 (k) plan. Direct contributions to a traditional IRA are not allowed after the client turns 70 and a half years old, although the client can transfer funds from another type of retirement account to their traditional IRA. The rules for contributing to an IRA after 70 and a half years depend on whether the account is a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, or an SEP IRA. Keep in mind that those who are 70 and a half years old or older and make contributions to a traditional IRA, a SIMPLE IRA, or an SEP IRA will continue to have to apply for an RMD, even if they are still working.
Customers who are still working after age 70 and a half can generally continue to contribute to employer-sponsored 401 (k) accounts and SEP IRAs. In fact, employers must continue to make employer contributions to the SEP IRA of an employee over 70 and a half years old if they make similar contributions to the accounts of younger employees.
