This is completely false. You already have optionality by the amount of funding you choose. The company can contribute up to 20% of $330,000 without any excess. If you choose to cause excess that's on you. I'm all for optionality but the reality is going to come out soon that the IRS is not on board with it. Then what? Is a "mandatory" deposit of overages you can determine really a bad thing. Most of us will find ways. I can save $81,000 in sheltered vehicles next year. And an unlimited amount if it goes into 529s. Some of that will be in conservative diversified income yielding assets. Does it matter if that small portion is in a MBCBP or another account? If you make $400K we are taking about $11,200 or 16% of 70,000 over the earnings cap. At 20% there no need to contribute anything and it's fully funded. If you're making $330,000+ then you are probably closers to retirement anyway and need to taper risk. Or you have already built your empire and a few thousand dollars a year isn't moving the needle.
I made more than 330k this year and would like to manage my own overage as I do now. Is a mandatory plan that captures that overage a bad thing?
yes. You do with your excess anything you want. Don’t commandeer mine.
