Nonqualified Deferred Comp. Workshop: Code §§409A and 457(f)
Presentor: Derrin Watson Recorded Date: 3/19/2013 Duration: 300 Min.

Description
This 3-part program was recorded during live presentations on March 19, 20 and 21, 2013.

Code §409A made dramatic changes to the rules governing nonqualified deferred compensation plans of various types, including SERPS, equity-based compensation arrangements, and 457(f) plans. Failure to comply with requirements in form and in operation will result in covered employees facing loss of tax deferral and also significant tax penalties.

This program addresses the requirements, including those related to deferral timing, payment elections and changes, in-service distribution options, changes to rabbi trust funding rules, withholding, reporting, and other issues. Speakers also cover practical design and drafting for the changes. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what you must do to maintain valuable tax deferral benefits under an employer’s nonqualified plan.
