bankruptcy filers
does filing for bankruptcy take away the filers savings in their 401k plan?
No. Retirement Retirement funds that are tax exempt under sections 401, 403, 408, 408A, 414, 457 and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code are exempt from claims of the debtor’s creditors. Money rolled over from a pension into an IRA is also protected. However the law limits protection for funds in regular and Roth IRAs to $1 million, although this cap can be increased by the bankruptcy court. Repaying a 401(k) loan is now considered a valid deduction from income for purposes of the means test and for determining how much disposable income a debtor has.
