A 401k is a retirement savings plan typically offered through an employer. An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is opened and managed by an individual. Both account types are designed to help you save for retirement and may offer tax advantages (subject to IRS rules and eligibility requirements). A 401k may include employer matching contributions and generally has higher annual contribution limits than an IRA. It is important to carefully look at your current plan and explore all options. The right choice depends on your employment situation, retirement goals, and overall financial plan.
