What is the maximum I can contribute to 401k?

401k
wizeman asked:

In tax year 2006, Since I am over 50 years old, I contributed $5,000 to a traditional IRA because I wanted to reduce my taxable income. My 401k contributions brought my income just a little over $50,000 so I was able to reduce my income by most of $5,000. Is there a limiy as to how much I can have my employer deposit into my 401k account? My income will increase a little and want to be able to contribute more so that my 2007 taxes can be reduced by a $5,000 traditional IRA contribution.
