Annual Contribution Limits for 2011
As 2010 is comes to a close, we all begin to look ahead to 2011. For retirement plans, the landscape in 2011 will look much like 2010. The new contribution limits largely remain unchanged. In calculating these, IRS compares the official cost of living increase from September of 2010 to September of 2009. In reviewing these limits, some definitions and rules need to be kept in mind.
