Just set up a Defined Benefit Plan for 2020 before you file your tax return.
Who Should Consider a Defined Benefit Plan?
The ideal candidate for a defined benefit plan is a business owner who is age 40 or older. A plan sponsor with no other employees or only young employees will have the lowest non-owner costs.
The plan sponsor must be aware that the contributions are generally mandatory and that future cash flow will support the plan’s continuation. How a defined benefit plan works
Why is a defined benefit plan such a great retirement strategy? Stated, it allows the participant to contribute a substantial amount into retirement and take a significant tax deduction. Let’s look at a basic example below.
Assume a 54-year-old plumber who earns $500,000 a year. Let’s also assume that the plumber is the only eligible full-time employee. Depending on compensation, the plumber could contribute approximately $250,000 into a defined benefit plan. Assuming a tax rate of at least 40% (federal and state), this is a tax savings of $100,000. Not too bad!!
Final thoughts
Are you considering a defined benefit plan? You are definitely on the right track. Substantial tax savings, high contribution limits, and excellent employee benefits are advantages under a defined benefit plan.
Thanks to the SECURE Act, you now have until you file a tax return to get a plan set up (including tax extensions).
It would help if you ran defined benefit plan illustrations and multiple scenarios to find the best plan to fit the company.
