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.
But 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. Â 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
