Question 284: Do the controlled group and common control rules only apply to retirement plans? What about medical plans? For example, a husband and wife own both an S corp and a C corp; the C corp wants to offer only its employees (husband and wife) a medical plan. Is this allowed under the Internal Revenue Code? |
Answer: The answer depends on the particular kind of health or welfare benefit plan. Let me explain, with references to the 4th edition of my book, Who's the Employer?. (Subscribers can click to view online the text of these references.) |
