WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The newly released IRS 2009 contribution limits for qualified retirement plans means that individuals and their employers can contribute more than ever before to a 401(k) plan, announced Lamaute Capital (member FINRA, SIPC). In addition to the opportunity to shelter from taxes a big portion of income, many 401(k) plans have a loan feature that can give its owners access to cash in times of need.
A 401(k) provides a great tax break to employees who contribute to the plan, and no business is too small to have a 401(k). Even a small business with no employees or employing a spouse only can establish a One Person 401(k) plan, according to Lamaute Capital.
This includes independent contractors with 1099 income, freelancers, sole proprietors, partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLC) or corporations.
Key benefits of a 401(k) plan:
* High maximum contribution limit.
* Contributions are tax deductible and are based on compensation or earned income. Roth contributions are from after-tax income.
* Funds in a 401(k) grow tax-deferred.
* Assets can be rolled over from other qualified plans or IRA’s into a 401(k).
* One can take a loan from a 401K (if allowed by the plan) – up to the lesser of 50% or $50,000 of account balance.
