403(b), 457 and 401(k) same year?
I have a client that worked for a non-profit for the first 6 months of 2024. Client is 61. During this time period, he fully funded his 403(b) and 457 with his employee contributions. He starts with a new employer in September which provides him a 401(k). Am I correct that he will be ineligible to make up to his $30,500 pre-tax salary deferral limit with his new employer since he already maximized that $30,500 of pre-tax salary deferrals with his 403(b) earlier this year?

Yes, that is correct. The elective deferral limit (Sec 402(g)) is per taxpayer, not per employer.
