Can one borrow from a 401K and then make a catchup contribution in same year with borrowed funds?



tks all


401(k) contributions can only be made as a paycheck deduction. So it's not like you can turn around and directly contribute the money you borrowed.

However, I don't see any reason why you couldn't increase the

401(k) deduction from your paycheck and use the borrowed funds to make up the reduced cashflow caused by the increased deductions.
