SIMPLE IRA Plan

If you are self-employed or own a small business, you may be able to establish a savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRA plan. A SIMPLE IRA plan is a salary reduction retirement plan for certain small businesses that is established in the form of employee-owned traditional individual retirement accounts (but with a higher contribution level). To qualify, you can't maintain another employer-sponsored retirement plan and must have no more than 100 employees who were employed in the past year and who earned at least $5,000. The SIMPLE IRA plan is funded with voluntary employee contributions and mandatory matching or nonelective contributions by the employer. Establishing such a retirement plan can provide you with a tax-advantaged way to save funds for your retirement; it may also help you attract and retain qualified employees.
Private Annuity: Estate Freeze Technique
- Broadridge Content
A private annuity is the sale of property in exchange for an unsecured promise to make payments for the rest of your life. A private annuity differs from a commercial annuity because you arrange the annuity with a private party instead of a financial organization (e.g., an insurance company). You (the seller or annuitant) transfer complete ownership of property to another party (the buyer or obligor). The buyer in turn makes an unsecured promise to make periodic payments to you for the rest of your life (a single life annuity) or for your life and the life of a second person (a joint and survivor annuity). A joint and survivor annuity provides payments until the death of the last survivor (e.g., payments continue as long as either the husband or wife is still alive). A typical private annuity involves the transfer of appreciated property from parents to their children.
