Do you own a successful small business? Is Your Business highly profitable?
[4]
Do you pay too much in taxes? In today's video,
[7]
I'm talking about how you can get a six figure tax deduction by contributing to
[13]
a cash balance plan in your business. Hi there, my name's Ashley Micciche,
[18]
CEO of True North Retirement Advisors where we specialize in retirement and exit
[23]
planning for business owners.
[27]
[inaudible].
[28]
Now, in today's video I'm super excited because the cash balance plans are a
[32]
tremendous opportunity for small business owners who have profitable successful
[36]
business.
[37]
You have paid too much in taxes and you want more tax deductions.
[42]
Now, these are especially beneficial if you are close to retirement.
[46]
So I'd say if you're over 50, especially if you're over 60,
[50]
pay close attention to today's video because it's going to be highly relevant
[54]
and getting you a tremendous,
[56]
now we're not talking about like a $500 or a $1,000 tax deduction here.
[61]
We're talking about potentially a six figure tax deduction,
[65]
lowering your income.
[67]
It's a powerful way to reduce the income that you take home,
[71]
reduce your taxes,
[72]
put more money into retirement for you so that when you do transition into
[77]
retirement, not only do you save money on taxes today,
[80]
but you build that nest egg up as well.
[82]
A lot of people don't know that these exist.
[84]
A lot of CPAs don't even know that they exist.
[87]
A lot of financial advisors don't know that they exist and as a result,
[90]
they're not telling their clients about these plans,
[94]
but they have absolutely exploded in popularity in recent years.
[97]
And even with all the tax changes with the tax cuts and jobs act,
[102]
they're actually even more compelling now.
[104]
And I'll explain that in a couple minutes.
[110]
[inaudible]
[111]
So cash balance plan, it's a hybrid retirement plan.
[115]
So it has the elements of a qualified plan like 401k.
[119]
It is a qualified plan,
[120]
but it has some elements of what's called a defined contribution plan.
[124]
These are 401k profit sharing plans.
[127]
And then it also has some elements of defined benefit or pension plan.
[132]
It is not a pure pension plan.
[134]
It kind of straddles the line between the two.
[138]
And so because it's a qualified retirement plan,
[142]
contributions that you make,
[143]
money that you put in as the business owner into this plan are tax deductible.
[148]
And that's essentially how you're able to make a six figure contribution to your
[156]
cash balance plan depending on your age and how you can get a massive tax
[162]
deduction. What I really want to emphasize here is that the tax deduction,
[167]
it's not, you know, there's a lot of tax deductions out there where, uh,
[170]
you know, you contribute to your Ira if you can do that and um,
[175]
you can make like a $6,500 tech or contribution and then you get tax deduction
[181]
on that about and it's nice but it's not as huge.
[185]
This is one of the potentially biggest tax deductions that you can take in your
[192]
business. Again, I don't know where else you can find, well,
[197]
I don't know many other places where you can find a six figure tax deduction
[202]
opportunity in your business other than the 401k plan. They exist,
[207]
but they're few and far between.
[208]
Do you want to talk to your tax advisor about all this?
[211]
Obviously I'm not a tax advisor, I'm not giving tax advice.
[214]
I'm just trying to outline this for you so you can see the tremendous potential
[220]
that this has.
[223]
[inaudible].
[224]
Okay,
[225]
so the other point I want to make about the taxation of cash balance plans and
[229]
what makes them so attractive is that not only do you get a tax deduction on the
[234]
amount that you contribute to the cash balance plan,
[237]
but whatever amount you contribute lowers your AGI,
[242]
your adjusted growth income as well. So let's just say for example,
[247]
you make $400,000 a year or a successful a doctor and you're over 60 so you can
[253]
make a pretty sizable cash balance plan contribution.
[256]
What would have happened with that contribution is that it would actually
[259]
significantly lower your AGI. So you could go from,
[264]
I've seen examples where you can go from, you know,
[266]
making $400,000 a year to making like 150 or $200,000 a year.
[273]
And this has a tremendous ripple effect when you lower your AGI as well,
[279]
which will impact the investment taxes you pay, medicare taxes, you pay,
[284]
capital gains rates are different based on your income, it can uh, lower,
[288]
significantly lower your top marginal tax bracket. I mean it's like swoosh,
[293]
swoosh. Oh,
[295]
I also did mention it can also potentially eliminate or reduce your medicare
[300]
payroll tax, which I know everyone,
[303]
most pains and also help you qualify for the QBI deduction,
[308]
which is something that's new from the tax cuts and jobs act.
[312]
That lowers the top bracket that you pay of 20,
[316]
you pay 20% taxes. So again, talk to your tax advisor about this,
[320]
but that's another tremendous opportunity.
[323]
There are certain businesses who wouldn't otherwise qualify for that QBI
[329]
deduction. They could with a cash balance plan if they utilize it.
[337]
I want to explain how the tax deduction works so that you can understand with
[343]
real dollars what this looks like if you were to implement a to cash balance
[348]
plan. So, um,
[351]
you can see on this chart that the amount that you can contribute to a cash
[356]
balance plan is dictated by your age. So the older you are,
[361]
the closer to retirement you are,
[362]
the more beneficial it is because you can put more money into the plan so you
[367]
can get more dollars in for retirement.
[370]
And then at the same time you get a higher tax deduction because the
[374]
contribution amount is higher. So in the chart here,
[377]
you can see the maximum contribution that you can make through the 401k plan.
[382]
Then we have the profit sharing plan contribution.
[387]
So you add those up and that's usually where most people stop.
[390]
If you're at a point where you're maximizing your 401k plan,
[394]
you're maximizing your profit sharing plan, you're like, okay,
[397]
I've done all I can do. No,
[399]
because you can both on a cash balance plan doesn't eliminate the 401k or the
[406]
profit sharing plan. If in addition to,
[409]
and you can see that the contribution amounts that you can make with a cash dog
[415]
plan is massive. This is where we get the six figure tax deduction.
[419]
This is this year in 2019 alone.
[422]
And that's why the tax savings are so significant because it reduces your income
[428]
and you get a tax deduction for every single dollar that you put into the cash
[432]
balance plan in a given year
[438]
is a cash box then right for you? Well,
[440]
the truth is there are five question one, two, three, four,
[444]
five that you need to answer in the affirmative to decide if a cash balance plan
[450]
is right for you. Click on the link below to schedule a strategy call with me.
