A worksheet to determine how much in unnecessary income taxes you are paying

This spreadsheet is most helpful to business owners who have control of their 401(k)/Profit Sharing/Defined Benefit plan(s) or business owners who use or can use captive insurance companies (both qualified plans and CICs) help business owners significantly reduce their annual income tax liabilities.

What does the final number calculated above tell you?

It’s telling you that “if” you implemented a tax-deductible plan to build wealth, you would have saved that much in income taxes in the year calculated.

What kind of plan could be used to reduce your annual income taxes?

IRA or 401(k) plan for individuals.

If you are a business owner, you could implement a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan and make sizable tax-deductible payments to these plans.

While it’s easy to say that a business should implement a retirement plan so the owner(s) can reduce their annual income taxes, it’s not that simple.

The first question that needs to be answered is whether a tax-deferred plan is a good idea. For many (those 60 years old and younger) it may makes more sense to pay taxes on income and use a tax-free wealth building tool such as Retirement Life to build wealth.

If it is determined that a tax-deductible plan is the best way to grow wealth, it is imperative for the business to design a plan that “legally” discriminates in favor of the business owner.
