Do 401k and IRA Contributions Reduce My Social Security Benefits?

Mike Piper, author of The Oblivious Investor Blog, explains:
"pre-tax contributions that you make to an employer-sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) reduce your income tax, but they do not reduce your Social Security tax. The same goes for traditional IRA contributions, as well as contributions to a SEP or SIMPLE IRA.
And because they have no effect on the amount of your income that’s subject to Social Security taxes, pre-tax contributions to an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), etc. do not reduce the Social Security benefits that you will eventually receive."

    Most Americans are aware they save too little for retirement, giving themselves a letter grade of “C” or lower

    Tax planning for your business may be the difference between turning a nice profit and barely keeping the doors open. Similarly, making smart tax moves may free up more money to save for a secure retirement

    Using a Solo 401(k) may allow you to invest more for your future and get some nice tax deductions along the way.
