Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a traditional 401(k) retirement account: Contributions to a traditional 401(k) are made with pre-tax dollars, meaning the amount contributed is deducted from your taxable income for the year.

Recognize the tax implications during the contribution phase: Since contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, you do not pay taxes on the money you contribute at the time of contribution.

Understand the tax implications during the withdrawal phase: Withdrawals from a traditional 401(k) are taxed as ordinary income during retirement, based on your tax bracket at the time of withdrawal.

Compare the options provided in the question: Analyze each statement to determine which aligns with the tax treatment of a traditional 401(k).

Select the correct statement: Contributions are made with pre-tax dollars and taxes are paid upon withdrawal, as this accurately describes the tax treatment of a traditional 401(k) retirement account.
