Deduction Limits and Contribution Timing
Tuesdays with Derrin and Steve
A recent IRS private letter ruling has brought into question some of the principles we thought we knew about deduction limits. This Web seminar focuses on deduction limits and timing for defined contribution plans. The speaker examines the limit for a combination of plans. He also answers questions such as:
- Whose compensation can I count in determining the deduction limit?
- Under what circumstances must I used prorated limits?
- What is the combined deduction limit?
- What plans are subject to the combined deduction limit?
- What is the penalty for excess contributions?
- When must an employer deposit contributions?
- Does it matter if the employer uses cash or accrual accounting?
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites or advance preparation for this program.
