Yeah, sounds like it may be technically legal, but most plans won't allow for it.

Talk to paychecks and I stated that as a W-2 employee you have to do all your contributions prior to December 31. Anyone have an idea of what the max contribution into a 41K for a W-2 employee is?

$18,000 until you are 50, unless you are considered a highly compensated employee.

(last year's amount)

2018 it goes to $18,500

Shane - you are correct on all of it.

For 2018, you will be able to contribute up to $18,500, which is up $500 from 2017.

Talk with your plan administrator, some allow up to 75% of your income to be contributed. The 18.5k is for pre-tax contributions.
