I lost my job but will be getting past deferred compensation from prior years in

2013 - around $50k - and I will be getting W-2 statement next year.

Is there a way to create savings plan (solo 401k / SIMPLE / other) which could reduce my W-2 taxable income mentioned above ?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Peter

If it's on a W-2 you cannot do a SIMPLE. Can you ask them if they can deposit up to 17.5k into your traditional 401k? If you are 50 or older make that 22.5k. I have no idea if they will do this if you are not working there, but never hurts to ask.
