My situation: I joined the company 401k plan in the mid-December 2006. Which I thought will start from beginning of 2007. However, my company started draw the money immediately and I didn’t notice until I got my W2 form recently. The 401k deduction is only $769 for year 2006. I have already put money on my IRA account which I can put $5000 for 2006, I’m 50 years old. Based on the IRS rule, I could not contribute to IRA if I have 401k and have AGI more than $80000 in 2006 which I did. Is there any way that I can change the 401k contribution to non-deductible, so I can contribute to my IRA?
