Under ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, defined contribution plans have become very popular, especially employer sponsored 40(k)s. The pretax contributions accumulate tax deferred and can accumulate tax deferred until age 70 1/2 when mandatory minimum distributions are generated.
