Why do you need a third party administrator? A qualified retirement plan is a powerful retirement and tax planning tool for employers. It allows you to make deductible contributions to a plan that provides valuable retirement benefits for yourself and your employees. But you can only take advantage of the tax savings if your plan remains "qualified". As an employer, when you decide to sponsor a qualified plan, you take on the responsibility of maintaining the plan's qualified status. Qualified plans fall under the jurisdiction of the IRS, Department of Labor (DoL), and in some cases, the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC). The laws governing qualified plans span thousands of pages of Internal Revenue Code and ERISA Regulations. As a business owner, your time is spent running your business, not analyzing and keeping current with pension law. A Third Party Administrator (TPA) is an expert in the field of plan administration, and can be thought of as the plan's compliance department. The TPA monitors the plan and performs many of the annual tasks that you are responsible for including maintenance of the plan document, annual compliance testing, participant disclosures, and government reporting.Read More
