Don’t Let the Clock Run Out On Major 2017 Tax Deductions for Business Owners

Time is Running Out for Major Tax Deductions

The clock is ticking if you were hoping for large tax deduction for this year. I know many business owners are frustrated with the relatively small contribution limits of their 401(k) and/or profit sharing plans. If you share that frustration, it’s time to consider adding a super-charged Defined Benefit Plan to your portfolio. Im talking about the robust models known as “Split Funded” Defined Benefit Plans. The type that have made a couple of well-known college football coaches wealthy men. Defined Benefit Plans allow business owners to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars (depending on age and income) on a tax-deductible basis.

But time is running out. In order to lock in a sizeable deduction for 2017, business owners need to sign Plan Documents by December 31^st. Contributions may be made to the plan next year (up until the time income taxes are filed), but documents must be signed by the end of the year. Think of it as your New Year’s resolution to cash in on the old year.
