Two other tax ideas:

1) say you’re single and plan on getting married: roll some of your single income to the following year when married to take advantage of married tax brackets.

2) Moving from a high state income tax state to a lower one? (eg NY/CA to FL, WA, TN) Roll some money to the future tax year and avoid state taxes.

Get competent tax advice before trying option 2. Lump sum distribution can trigger state income tax in the state where the money was earned.

emphasis on a CPA. 409A was a rough read but state tax code becomes important to understand and 50 exist. Think 7 year itch.

I could have used this in 2023. Too many bills to defer now.

Oh ******* yeah. This is a good, potentially game-changing idea.

There are rules on owing taxes in the state the income was earned depending on distribution schedule, but if you do it right, you can absolutely do this.

Also if you're planning a large purchase the following year for a business that you're a material participant in and bonus depreciation gets extended (it will), then it might be smart to defer more income to that year in order to take more advantage of the deduction.

It all depends on the plan's rules whether we can do these things or not though.
