Tax credits for a new plan even though we have an existing plan


Recommended Posts

Posted

I had this question posed to me the other day. For the new tax credits for 2023, can we start a new plan even though we already have a 401(k) plan. Freeze the existing plan and merge into the new plan but yet take advantage of the new credits including the $1,000 credit for matching. This is a small 6 person plan.

No. To qualify for the credit the employer can not have maintained any other qualified plan during the past 3 years. See IRC 45E(c)(2)
