The 401k plan is a tax-qualified account indicated in the Internal Revenue Code under the section 401(k). This plan is also known as the retirement savings plan and it is funded by the employer by deducting money from the employee’s paycheck before any taxes are applied. The 401k plan was first introduced in the 1980s as a supplement to pensions. This plan offers you more control when investing and saving your money as an employee.
