Self-Employed? Save More of What You Earn With This Plan

 

If you are a self-employed professional or small business owner with a high annual income, you may be paying more in taxes than you need to, and you may be limiting what you save for retirement.

A small business defined benefit (DB) plan will allow you to hold onto more of what you earn. This IRS-approved qualified retirement plan allows for higher tax-deductible contributions than other plans and could save you $40,000 or more in taxes each year.

DB Plan Contribution Limits 2015But you need to act now to set up a plan before December 31, 2015 to save for tax year 2015.

Defined benefit plans enable self-employed professionals and small business owners to save on taxes and build a large retirement nest egg in a very short time.  DB plan owners can accumulate as much as $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in a tax-deferred retirement account in just 5-10 years. These plans enjoy several powerful features:

  • Highest allowable contributions to a qualified plan: $100,000+ (much higher than the contribution limits on SEP-IRAs and 401(k)s)
  • Annual tax savings of $40,000 or more
  • Investments grow tax-deferred, building wealth faster
  • Tax-free rollover to an IRA at retirement (or plan termination)
  • Flexible range of investment choices

Defined benefit plans are not appropriate for everyone, but you could benefit if you are:

  • Self-employed or a small business owner with up to five employees
  • 40 years of age or older
  • Willing and able to contribute more than $50,000 annually to a qualified retirement plan and continue this level of funding for at least 3 years

Some professions that typically benefit from DB plans are:

  • Architects
  • Attorneys
  • Consultants
  • Contractors
  • Independent Corporate Directors
  • Dentists
  • Doctors
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Graphic Designers
  • Independent Insurance Agents
  • Manufacturer’s Reps
  • Mortgage Brokers
  • Real Estate Agents
  • Software Developer
