Bruce1 Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 For an employer who files a Schedule C and has a few W-2 employees. Is the plan deductibility limit for employer contributions (employer's net Schedule C + w-2) * .25? Does anyone have any information on this?
Bird Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Assuming you are talking about a DC plan, it is a circular calc; it boils down roughly to 25% of (covered) W-2 comp plus (roughly*) 20% of Schedule C. *There is an adjustment for 1/2 of SS taxes; after that it is 20%. Also note the Schedule C should reflect the employer contributions for employees, so if you are a TPA and are given the raw Schedule C by the accountant, you have to adjust for that as well.

Bruce1 Posted August 1, 2024 Author Posted August 1, 2024 The employer limit for the totality of the plan would be: Total employer contribution = .20(Net Schedule C - 1/2 SS taxes) + .25 (Total W-2 Wages) Ex: Maximum employer limit = .20(150,000 - 11,475) + .25(100,000) = $52,705 Is this the correct formula for a self-employed Schedule C filer?
