11/18   What's the max. 401(k) contribution limit for tax years 1999 and
        2000?  Thx.
        \_ Unless something's changed, it's $10k
           \_ That's what I heard too, but on page 3 of
              http://ftp.fedworld.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p560.pdf it says the limit
              is $6k.  What gives?
              \_ Are you working for a small business that only offers a
                 Simple 401k?
                 \_ Yeah, about 20 employees, and the employer doesn't match
                    my contribution.
                   \_ if the employer doesn't match, according to that 560 pub
                      it's not a SIMPLE 401k.  it's probably a normal one
                      and 10k limit. -oj
                      \_ I see.  Thanks.
                \_ Be careful. That word does not mean what you think it means.
                   (Where the IRS is concerned nothing is simple, and a Simple
                    401k is more complicated than simply a standard 401k.)
           \_ What if I'm married and filing tax jointly with my working
              spouse?
        \_ Ask HR or a CPA - much more reliable than the motd.
        \_ For 1999 it was $10,000, for 2000 it has been increased to $10,500
