The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently released guidance on Roth catch-up contributions under SECURE 2.0 Act. This guidance, outlined in Notice 2023-62, provides important information for individuals who are age 50 or older and participating in a retirement plan that allows deferral contributions. The Notice offers a two-year extension of the effective date for catch-up contributions being on a Roth basis for high-income individuals, as well as confirming the availability of catch-up contributions for tax years after December 31, 2023. This extension provides additional time for employers, plan recordkeepers, and payroll companies to implement the necessary changes required by the Act.
