2. Tax Planning Tips

funded on a timely basis.

CROSS TESTING, CONCURRENT OFFSETS & AGGREGATED
INCIDENTAL BENEFITS
Keys to Max Contributions & Min Plan Costs
 The Key to the Combination Plan Designs is doing it in a non-
discriminatory manner while satisfying IRC Sec 401(a)(26).
 Cross Testing one plan with another establishes that the benefits at retirement
from both plans are essentially “equal in value” at the plan’s NRD.
 Satisfying the Concurrent Offset Rules* allows us to create a “targeted
employees only plan”. We can count participants for testing who are fully
offset on a non-discriminatory basis.**
 Aggregated Incidental Benefits allow us to increase the maximum pension
contribution up to 133% of the otherwise maximum contribution. The AIB is a
$$$ benefit that can be individually allocated as a 401h benefit, a life
insurance benefit or a combination of the two at the discretion of the
participant.

8. * §1.401(a)(26)-5(a)(2); 401(a)(26) = Minimum Participation Requirements
** the 40%/50 employee rule in 401(a)(26)
CASH BALANCE PLAN FUNDAMENTALS
o It looks like an old fashioned savings account
o Accounts are credited with:
o Employer Annual Contribution Credit e.g. $1,000
o Annual Interest Credit e.g. 5% = $50
o The Retirement Value is a Lump Sum, the Cash Balance!
o For Example, $1,000/ Year @ 5% over 40 years = $126,190
o Benefits are more easily understood by the participant
o Participant receives an annual statement that shows an account
balance
o Costs are Understandable by the Plan Sponsor

9. IRC § 401(h) FUNDS NOT USED FOR BENEFITS REVERT TO THE COMPANY
WHAT IS IRC §401h “PRIME” or
LIFE INSURANCE Aggregated Benefit ?
• THE POST RETIREMENT INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL EXPENSE BENEFIT
• PRIME BENEFITS ARE AUTHORIZED UNDER IRC §401(h)
 A 401(h) account is a separate fund, or account, of a pension plan to be used exclusively
for retiree health benefits.
 401(h) benefits are tax deductible subject to Final Regs Sec.404(a)(3)(f)(2); fully tax
deferred and payouts are tax free under IRC Sec. 105 or 106.
 401(h) tax deductible contributions, as allocated, are subject to the annual addition limit
for Key Employees and HCEs ($50,000 in 2013)
 401(h) benefits vest at the NRD for employees who go on pay status;
employee/participants leaving prior to NRD forfeit 100% of their benefit

10. SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT FULLY FUNDED BY TAX DEFERRALS
WHAT IS THE TAX RESERVE?
The Tax Reserve is the net A/T tax benefit produced by the tax deductibility of a qualified
retirement plan contribution less A/T plan costs.
For example: a plan contribution of $100,000 @ a 40% tax bracket reduces
current tax by $40,000; if the plan has $10,000 in A/T EE and admin costs, the
Tax Reserve equals $30,000.
The Tax Reserve is a reserve set aside to fund any future tax liability when plan assets are
paid out and to supplement retirement income.
The Tax Reserve utilizes the tax characteristics of life insurance to make it the ideal
repository for Tax Reserve contributions:
Tax free withdrawals & loans converted to income
Tax free income to beneficiaries
Tax free life insurance benefits to fund any business, personal or charitable intent

11. Concurrent Offset Method & Aggregated Benefits Utilized in Proformas

Catch-up).
