MBDR is preferred over Roth salary deferrals because of the withdrawal rules
Can you please explain how the withdrawal rules differ between MBDR and Roth salary deferrals?
Roth salary deferrals are called elective salary deferrals. By IRS statue, these cannot be withdrawn until 59 1/2 or you are separated from your employer. You cannot roll them to a Roth IRA until then. Whereas, MBDR, you can roll from your Roth 401K to a Roth IRA (or straight from After-Tax->Roth IRA) and access the contributions at any time. Since you're an S-Corp, you'd effectively have to terminate your business to access the salary deferrals. Depending on your plan summary document, Roth profit sharing can be accessed within 2 years but generally you'd just do a MBDR assuming you have a plan with that option.
