Some companies will offer new employees stock options as part of a retirement plan or as a sole retirement option. In order for this option to be available you must work for a company that has stock. If you work for a company that does have stock, your employer may offer you a “deal” to purchase stock in the company at a good price. Sometimes this price may be half the current market value. This still requires you to purchase the stock outright, but then instantly after purchase you have doubled your investment (if purchased at 50% the current market value). There is always a designated time frame for you to use your stock options.

The idea is for you to invest in your own company. As the company improves, so will your stock. If, however, the company fails or struggles, your stock will drop in value, ultimately hurting your retirement investment. Even though this can be a great buy, it’s quite risky.

An advantage of having stock options is that there is no specific age at which you can cash out your stocks. However, there are penalties now in place if you buy the stock and then sell it again within a short period of time. Understandably, employers will be disappointed if they give you stock options only to have you sell them shortly after being hired. Generally, when an employee sells his/her stock, it means there is or will be a termination of employment.

A disadvantage of stock options is that they are not tax-deferred. Initially, you will pay tax on the incentive part of your options. Let’s use an example for further explanation.

Let’s say your employer offers for you to buy stock at $50 a share when a share’s market value is $75. Your employer grants you up to 1,000 shares if you want it, but you elect only to purchase 100 shares. So you spent $5000, but instantly your shares are worth $7500. However, for your taxable income in that year, you must pay tax on the difference between the two. So by subtracting $7500 from $5000 you learn your additional taxable income. In this case you would see an additional $2500 on your W-2 at the end of the year. It would be reported as extra income granted to you during the year. Basically the IRS sees that you invested $5000 of your own money (money that was already taxed), but they see that your investment granted you $2500 that had not been taxed; therefore, the IRS will see it as taxable income.

In addition to paying tax when you initiate your stock options, you will also pay tax when you sell your stock. Depending on when you decide to sell, the tax will be slightly different, but you will pay tax nonetheless.

Stock options are not a bad investment, as much as it may seem so. Even though you pay tax on them twice, you will still most likely be ahead by a good amount of money considering you were able to buy the stock at a good price. The only time this wouldn’t be the case would be if the company struggled and your market shares dropped significantly.

When a company first hires you, they will give you some sort of benefits package. This package will include health insurance, life insurance, retirement, etc. There will be a period of time in which you need to enroll in their programs or elect to opt out. Retirement is just as important as all those other pieces of your benefits package.

There will most likely be three different individuals you will work with in regards to setting-up your retirement. Most companies have an on-staff employee that handles retirement. This individual doesn’t work for an investment company, but he/she can direct you to a representative from the investment company that can work with you on your investment decisions. The on-staff employee works as a liaison between your company and the investment company. The representative from the investment company is a great resource for getting you started. In some cases the representative will want to meet with you, but if you are not contacted by him/her, ask for the contact information from the on-staff employee. Call and arrange a meeting with your representative as soon as possible to ensure you get things set-up before your first paycheck. The third individual that you will need to consult with is a tax consultant. Because different plans have different tax benefits, having a tax consultant will ensure you take advantage of as many tax benefits as possible during the retirement planning process. Your retirement representative can give you some tax information, but consulting a tax professional will give you the best understanding and knowledge about the tax portion of your retirement account. You can use the same CPA you have used for your taxes in the past for this consulting. If you do not have a tax consultant, ask your retirement representative or the on-staff employee retirement liaison for a recommendation.

Before you meet with your representative, have in mind some numbers that you feel comfortable with contributing. This number can change, but it is always a good idea to walk in the door with something in mind. Create a monthly budget with all of your expenses. This will help you see how much you can contribute to your retirement plan each month. Even if this number is small, remember its importance. It would probably be a good idea to bring a written copy of your budget with you to the meeting with your retirement representative. Although the person you will speak with specializes in retirement planning, they are trained in all areas of finances, and if needed they can help you plan your monthly budget efficiently. This will also help them understand why you came to the meeting with a certain number in mind. By sharing with them your expenses, they can better help you find the best amount to invest in your retirement.

Your representative will take your money each month along with every other employee in your company and invest it in a variety of different places. Like we discussed earlier, your money may be invested in stocks, bonds, money market accounts or mutual funds. The type of accounts your money is invested in depends on the type of portfolio you decide to create.

As we have discussed before, you should strongly consider starting your retirement with your first paycheck. We have already talked about the importance and benefits to starting earlier rather than later, but we will continue to stress the great value of starting at the beginning rather than playing catch-up at the end.

As questions arise on your retirement, don’t hesitate to call and visit with your retirement representative. You will receive quarterly and annual statements in the mail regarding the current value of your retirement fund. Inevitably as you begin investing, there will be things that are unfamiliar to you, or that you don’t understand. Your representative is a great resource to utilize as you plan for retirement.

stock purchase plan is similar to stock options. Employers offer the company’s stock for a reduced rate, usually only up to 15% off. Employees can use after-tax money to purchase this stock. Unlike stock options, stock purchase plans are available to employees indefinitely. There is no set time frame that an employee must purchase the stock. There will be a period surrounding each pay period that an employee must exercise the right to purchase the stock; otherwise the employee will need to wait until the next pay period. That being said, the stock price will fluctuate based on the company’s performance in the stock market. However, employees will still receive the designated discount prescribed by the company.

Some stock purchase plans qualify as a 423 stock purchase plan. In this case, you are not taxed when you first purchase stock. Instead, you are only taxed when you withdraw your money. Withdrawing your money can take place at any time, but the taxes will be different if you choose to withdraw under a year from the original purchase. Unfortunately there are non-qualifying stock purchase plans. With a non-qualifying stock purchase plan, you do not receive the tax benefits and are therefore taxed on both your purchase and when you sell your shares.

Usually your company will determine a set amount of your paycheck that can be used for a stock purchase plan. Generally, it is less than 15%. If your plan is a 423 qualified plan, you cannot exceed $25,000 every calendar year in stock purchases.

403b Retirement Plan
403b planA 403b Plan is very similar to a 401k. Again, any money you invest in your plan is tax-deferred and saves you in taxes owed each year. The biggest difference between these two plans is that 401k retirement plans are offered by for-profit organizations and 403b retirement plans are offered by non-profit organizations. You will most likely see a 403b if you work for a school district, a hospital, a church, or some other non-profit organizations (501(c)(3) organizations).

Essentially, a 403b and 401k are different based on the tax codes the government assigns them. All of your money will still be taken by an investment company and invested into the type of portfolio of your choosing.

A deductible IRA is a tax-friendly Individual Retirement Account. When you contribute to a deductible IRA, you use after-tax dollars just like the Roth IRA. However, unlike the Roth IRA, you can use your total contribution amount to add as a deduction each year on your taxes. There is a limit to this that changes every year, so beware that not all of your money may be used as a deduction if you contribute over that limit. Additionally, your money is put away tax-deferred until you start to withdraw it at which time you’ll pay income tax.

Also unlike the Roth IRA, there are no income limits to participate in a deductible IRA unless you are using a Deductible IRA as a supplement to a company sponsored retirement plan. If you are also using a company sponsored retirement plan, there are income limits for eligibility. For single tax payers, the income limit is between $52,000 and $62,000. For married couples the limits are higher.

As with many of the other retirement plans we’ve talked about, there is a 10% penalty for withdrawing any money before the age of 59 and ½. In addition, you have to start withdrawing your money by age 70 and ½ regardless of your living situation.

Second, it’s important for you understand that some plans are tax-deferred and some are not. We will talk more later about the tax benefits associated with retirement. However, if a plan is tax-deferred, it means the money is removed from your paycheck prior to taxes being taken out. If the plan is not tax-deferred, the money invested into your retirement comes out after taxes are removed from your paycheck.

It’s crucial you understand a few key things before we talk specifics. First, companies may offer a matching program. This means that for every dollar you place in your retirement, they will match it up to a certain percent. For example, your company will match 100% of your annual contribution up to 3% of your annual salary. So if your salary is $65,000, and you choose to invest $5,000 a year into your retirement fund, the company will add an additional $1950 just for working for their company. Most people consider this “free money,” and would strongly suggest taking advantage of it.
