If you're a small employer or self-employed, you may be busy trying to grow your business and haven't thought about starting a retirement plan. Adopting a retirement plan benefits both the employer and employees.
- Employer contributions are tax deductible.
- Assets in a plan grown tax-deferred to retirement.
- A plan helps attract and retain employees.
- Small employers may receive a tax credit for new plans of up to $5,000/year for three years for the cost of setting up a new plan.
- A Saver's Credit of up to 50% is available for contributions made by low- to moderate-income employees to IRAs or retirement plans.
