You should understand that not all employers offer Roth 401k. If your company does not furnish this account, you and your co-workers can file a petition letter to encourage them to setup this option for all of you. The matching contribution from your present employer will be directly deposited into a traditional 401k, therefore, if you wish to contribute to a Roth 401k you will also necessitate a traditional 401k for the matching funds process, and they will be taxed accordingly when you withdraw money. Dissimilar to Roth IRAs, you will have to take out minimum required distributions from your Roth 401k when you become 70 ½ years of age.
