Choosing a Retirement Plan

April 1, 2021

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.
