Many small business owners fear that they can’t afford to offer their employees a 401(k) plan. Owners may also worry that they don’t have enough employees to qualify for the plan or that they will have to offer matching contributions. However, a recent article in Forbes.com puts these fears to rest by clearly up those common misconceptions and touting the benefits of 401(k) plans for small businesses, including:
• Tax credits make it easy to get started
• A tax shelter of $15,500, plus any matching
• Self-employed workers can shelter up to $46,000 annually
• Profit-sharing that provides flexibility
• New Roth 401(k) feature that allows for after-tax contributions
