What's the Impact of 2018 IRS Retirement Plan Limits?
Van Iwaarden Associates [Guidance Overview] Oct. 20, 2017 "Highly-paid participants will now have more of their compensation 'counted' towards qualified plan benefits and less towards non-qualified plans. This could also help plans' nondiscrimination testing if the ratio of benefits to compensation decreases.... This is the fourth year in a row that the HCE compensation limit has been stuck at $120,000.... [E]mployers may find that more of their employees become classified as HCEs.... Plans may see marginally worse nondiscrimination testing results (including ADP results) if more employees with large deferrals or benefits become HCEs. It could make a big difference for plans that were previously close to failing the tests.... [I]ndividuals who have very large DB benefits (say, shareholders in a professional firm cash balance plan) could see a deduction increase if their benefits were previously constrained by the 415 dollar limit." |
