Payroll Deduction Program Checklist

Well suited for employers who:

  • want to provide a structure for employees to fund their own retirement.
  • want to offer something in addition to a qualified retirement plan; an attractive addition to any employer-sponsored benefit program.

How Does It Work?

Employees have money deducted from their pay checks. The amount deducted can be used to fund a:

  • Roth IRA
  • Traditional IRA
  • Nonqualified investments
  • Education IRA
  • UTMA (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act) account

What Are the Advantages?

Advantages for you:

  • There is no cost to the employer.

  • It's easy to set-up and operate.

  • There are no IRS forms or tests to comply with.

Advantages for employees:

  • It allows employees to build their personal retirement savings.

  • There are several investment and account options to choose from.

  • Employees can choose the investment and account options that are right for them.

Is It Right for My Business?

The Payroll Deduction Program may be a good plan design for you if the following statements match your retirement plan objectives and capabilities:

  • I want to be able to set up the program in addition to a qualified retirement plan.

  • I won't be able to take a tax deduction for what the employees save, but that's ok.

  • I won't have expenses to pay.

  • An ongoing administrative contact is not necessary. Support through an 800 phone number is fine.

  • I don't want to bother with much annual compliance testing or IRS reporting.
