does employer simple ira contributions include bonus money
Your employer will likely continue to contribute to these accounts with the bonus payout using the original contribution percentage that you set up. So if you already automatically contribute 5% of your gross income to your 401(k), your employer will probably take 5% of your bonus money and put it in your 401(k). If you are not careful, you could exceed your annual maximum allowable tax-deductible contributions to your 401(k).
