401(k) plans for your employees

Attracting and retaining talented employees is important to any business. And providing a way to save for retirement can help you achieve this. Any type of business can set up a 401(k) plan, which is designed to let your employees defer part of their salary for retirement savings – and let you help by making optional tax-deductible matching contributions. Let Edward Jones help you understand the plan options available for your business.

Highlights

Employee contributions make up the majority of the funding. A 401(k) plan can allow larger deferral options or larger employer contributions than a  SIMPLE IRA. This type of plan can be complex, and it requires an administrator for compliance, plan maintenance, record keeping, IRS Form 5500 filing and required testing.

Contribution features

• Participants can make the maximum salary deferral contribution.
• Participants may elect to make Roth deferral contributions.
• As the employer, you can choose whether to contribute and how much within certain limits.

Deadlines

• You must establish this plan by your year-end.
• You must deposit salary deferrals no later than the 15th business day of the month following the month of deferral.
• Your employer contributions may be deposited up until the business tax-filing deadline, including extension.
