Serbinski Accounting Firms

Thanks, good information.

1. have they verified that they can do this with their 401(k) trustee? Good question I will need to ask.
2. What about employer matching in either case? The $12K is the employer match.
3. Are you going to be working once you are in canada? Yes, I am transfering back with the same company.

my employer will make a contribution of $12,000 to either my 401K before I leave the US or to my RRSP when I arrive in Canada.

In Oct I will move back to Canada after a 4 year stay in the US. My employer has given me the option of contributing to my 401K prior to my departure or to my RRSP upon my arrival in Canada. RRSP limit is not an issue. Which is the better choice?
