Reviewing Updated Retirement Contributions for 2023

Financial Planning
The Internal Revenue Service has released new limits for the coming year. After months of high inflation and financial uncertainty, some of these cost-of-living-based adjustments have reached near-record levels.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). IRA contribution limits are up $500 in 2023 to $6,500. Catch-up contributions for those over age 50 remain at $1,000, bringing the total limit to $7,500.

Roth IRAs. The income phase-out range for Roth IRA contributions increases to $138,000-$153,000 for single filers and heads of household, a $9,000 increase. For married couples filing jointly, phase-out will be $218,000 to $228,000, a $14,000 increase. Married individuals filing separately see their phase-out range remain at $0-10,000.

Workplace Retirement Accounts. Those with 401(k), 403(b), 457 plans, and similar accounts will see a $2,000 increase for 2023, the limit rising to $22,500. Those aged 50 and older will now have the ability to contribute an extra $7,500, bringing their total limit to $30,000.

SIMPLE Accounts. A $1,500 increase in limits for 2023 gives individuals contributing to this incentive match plan a $15,500 stop light.

Other Changes. In addition to changes in contributions limits, the IRS also announced several other changes for 2023, including an increase to the annual exclusion for gifts to $17,000 per person and an increase to the estate tax exclusion threshold.

My goal as your financial partner is to build a holistic plan that can help you achieve your desired financial future, regardless of where you are in your stage of life.

“Financial advising runs in my family. My father and brother are both advisors, and it has been a passion of mine from a young age.”

In developing your personalized plan, it is important to identify your goals and determine any gaps we need to fill in to achieve them. I look at your plan from a long-term perspective and will help you determine how to maneuver through life stages to get where you want to go. Whether it is education savings, retirement planning, assessing your current portfolio, determining life insurance needs, or distributions during retirement, I am here to help.

I graduated from the University of Kansas School of Business with an emphasis in finance and an MBA from the UMKC Henry W. Bloch School of Management. I'm a lifelong Kansas City resident currently living in Olathe with my wife and three children. In our free time, we enjoy going to the Lake of the Ozarks and spending time outside. We are active in our Church and enjoy all things Kansas City, including the Chiefs and the Royals.
