Qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) and pension plans, offer significant tax advantages for employers:
Tax-deductible contributions (B): Employer contributions to qualified plans are deductible as business expenses, reducing taxable income.
Exclusive benefit for key employees (A): Not allowed under IRS rules, as qualified plans must follow non-discrimination requirements.
Funds available for business needs (C): Incorrect, as plan funds are held in trust and cannot be used for business operations.
Rewarding selected employees (D): Qualified plans must comply with anti-discrimination rules, so rewards must benefit all eligible employees.
