Later:

The Internal Revenue Code generally prohibits withdrawals of 457(b) contributions and earnings prior to death, age 70 1/2, severance of employment, or unforeseeable emergency. Note that distributions from the Roth 457(b) are subject to taxation on the portion attributable to earnings if made before Qualified Distribution provisions are satisfied.A Qualified Distribution is one that meets the 5 year rule AND occurs at least at age 59 1/2, death, or disability.

Would you rather pay taxes later?

once qualifying conditions are met.

Consider this…• Are you looking for tax-free (subject to qualifying conditions)

retirement income?• Do you expect your taxes to be higher when you retire? • Are you currently in a lower income tax bracket?• Do you like the idea of diversifying your tax strategy by contributing

to both the 457 and the Roth 457 options?

There’s more …

Is Roth right for you?

These materials are not intended to be used to avoid tax penalties, and were prepared to support the promotion or marketing of the matter addressed in this document. The taxpayer should seek advice from an independent tax advisor.



Consider this…

If you answered “yes” to any of these, a Roth may make sense for you.

• Are you already maxing out your Traditional 457 contributions?• Can you afford a reduction in take-home pay to contribute the same

amount to your Roth 457?– For those already contributing to a Traditional 457 and wishing to

switch to a Roth 457• Are you looking to leave tax-free assets to your heirs?

– A Roth 457 may be rolled over to Roth IRA: age 70 ½ required distributions do not apply to a Roth IRA

– A traditional 457 may be rolled over to a Roth IRA which may be advantageous as set forth above. In order to complete the rollover to the Roth IRA, taxes will need to be paid on the traditional 457
