A closer look at the credit

Starting a retirement plan is an investment in your people. Eligible small employers may be able to offset qualifying setup, administration and employee-education costs. Trak helps assess potential credits with your CPA or financial advisor.

Plan startup costs

Review qualifying setup, administration and employee-education expenses, along with employee counts and prior-plan restrictions.

Employer contributions

A separate credit may apply to qualifying employer contributions. Workforce size, compensation and the plan year affect the calculation.

Automatic enrollment

A qualifying automatic-enrollment feature may create a separate credit opportunity for a new or existing eligible plan.
