Did you know that small businesses that fail to file their annual retirement plan returns can face hefty fines of up to $15,000 per return? Our tax team has helped small businesses plan and prepare their annual plan returns.
Fortunately, the Internal Revenue Service recognizes that some businesses may not even realize that this requirement applies to them. As a result, a tax penalty relief program allows them to pay $500 per return for late filings, up to a maximum of $1,500. The relief is aimed at small businesses whose plans cover a 100% owner or partners in a business partnership, and their spouses.
The U.S. Department of Labor also has a relief program for businesses that have employees. If you’re not sure whether the requirements—or the relief programs—apply to you, be sure to contact us. We can offer advice on how to remain in compliance with critical regulations and minimize your tax outlays.
