So as to make up for earlier years when they did not maximize contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-403-tax-sheltered-annuity\"><span id=\"403-tax-sheltered-annuity\">403 Tax Sheltered Annuity<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A 403(b) plan tax-sheltered annuity is a retirement plan offered by government schools and certain charitable organizations. However, it is fairly similar to a for-profit entity&#8217;s 401(k) plan. A 403(b) plan, like a 401(k), allows employees to defer a portion of their salary into individual accounts. Broadly, until the future date salary is in distribution, it is not subject to federal or state income tax. A 403(b) tax sheltered annuity plan, on the other hand, may provide designated Roth accounts.
