The AICPA sent recommendations to Treasury and the IRS on Notice 2023-62 which addresses changes made to catch-up contributions by the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022. The SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 requires certain catch-up contributions to be made as Roth IRA deferrals. In turn, this mandates that retirement plans permitting catch-up contributions must offer a Roth contribution feature to their plan. Our comments focus on the administrability of the changes to catch-up contributions due to the addition of the Roth IRA deferral mandate.
