Underutilized Amounts Worksheet for Special §457 Catch-Up
Begin with the first year you became eligible to participate in this Plan. Ignore all prior years.
Instructions:
1. Multiply your includible compensation by the percentage in column A, and enter this amount in column A (includible compensation).
a. For years prior to 2002, includible compensation is equivalent to the amount shown on the W-2 in Box 1 (or Box 10 for years prior to 1993).
b. For 2002 and thereafter, includible compensation is equivalent to the amounts shown on the W-2 in Box 1, PLUS any amounts received from your
employer as a qualified transportation fringe benefit, any amounts deferred under a §125 cafeteria plan and any contributions to a §401(k), §403(b)
and §457(b) plan.
2. In column C, enter the lesser of the amount in column A (includible compensation) or B (basic annual §457(b) contribution limit).
3. From column C, subtract columns D (actual contributions) and E (other contributions) and enter that amount in column F (underutilized amount).
4. Add totals from column F in the TOTAL UNDERUTILIZED AMOUNTS line at the end of the worksheet; this is your total underutilized amount.
5. You may only use an underutilized amount equal to the current year’s basic annual §457(b) contribution limit. Any remaining underutilized amount
may be contributed in any remaining special catch-up years, up to an amount equal to that year’s basic annual §457(b) contribution limit.
6. NRA may not be changed in your second and third year of catch-up and you must subtract the Special §457 Catch-Up amounts you contributed in a
prior year from the total underutilized amounts to determine your remaining underutilized amounts.
