Many small businesses have just completed last year's taxes, which can be challenging and more costly for small business owners without access to retirement plan benefits. However, while many small businesses do not offer 401(k) benefits, there is much-needed tax relief due to the Secure Act 2.0, which makes starting 401(k) plans even more affordable, if not entirely cost-free, for any small business. Passed in late 2022, Secure Act 2.0 eliminates almost all cost barriers for small businesses with employees starting their first 401(k) plan with tax credits applicable to 401(k) costs including employer matching. For businesses with 1-50 employees, tax credits for 401(k) setup and ongoing administration are dollar for dollar for up to $5,000 each year for the first three years of starting a 401(k). There are other tax credits and deductions to help cover any employer-matching contributions an employer may choose to provide.

In addition, owners and employees can benefit with either pre-tax 401(k) contributions to lower this year's taxes (monies will be taxed upon withdrawal in retirement) and/or using the Roth 401(k) feature to contribute after-tax and benefit from tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Unlike a Roth IRA, there is no income limit to contribute to a Roth 401(k).

"Many small business owners aren't even aware they can offer or even afford 401(k) benefits," said Stuart Robertson, President and CEO of ShareBuilder 401k. "As the tax season winds down, we understand the financial challenges that small business owners face. Our goal is to make adding 401(k) benefits simple and low-cost. With our free setup offer, low-expense solution, and these new tax credits, small businesses can start a no to low-cost 401(k) and help their employees and themselves build for a secure retirement while lowering personal taxes too."
