How 'bout government tax credits for your small business 401k plan? Secure ACT 2.0 did exactly that!

Requirements: Have at least 1 full time employee that made less than $150k last year.​

​Tax Credit Details & Amounts​

1) Start-Up Tax Credit: Get $250 per employee, per year, for 3 years, to help offset the cost of setting up the 401k plan and educating your employees.

2) Auto-Enrollment Tax Credit: $500 tax credit per year, for 3 years, when you use an eligible β€œopt-out” 401k plan. Employees are automatically enrolled in the plan to save for retirement.

3) Matching Tax Credit: The government will match your contribution to an employee plan up to $1,000, if the employee earned less than $100k. This free money supercharges your 401k savings plan.

If you are a CA-based business with even 1 employee, you will be required to offer a 401k plan by 2025. Now is a great time to take advantage of these government subsidies.
