Contributions

You can make pre-tax, Roth, or both contribution types to your SoonerSave 457 plan.  Making a pre-tax contribution reduces the state and federal income tax you pay each year. Your pre-tax contributions and any earnings in both plans grow tax-deferred until money is withdrawn. With the Roth option, you pay taxes on your contributions now so you don’t have to later. You also get the benefit of not paying taxes on the earnings with a qualified distribution.
