403(b) Investing Option

 

A 403(b) is a retirement plan that's designed for public schools and other nonprofits. It's very similar to a 401(k).  The advantage of a 403(b) Plan is that your taxable income is reduced by the amount you contribute to the plan. Distributions from your 403(b) are subject to federal income taxes.  An annuity offers you many options upon retirement, such as a guaranteed lifetime income. Tax law permits you to withdraw contributions under certain circumstances outside of retirement but there are restrictions.

For information on USD 450's 403(b) Investment Providers or to contact a company to start investing, please go to the TSA Consulting Group website.
