Q: How can my business offer
tax-free dependant care reimbursements?
A: Your small business employee
benefit plan can easily adapt a daycare reimbursement plan. These
reimbursement plans are income tax free and are also free of social
security tax and other wage taxes. If you contribute the maximum
$5,000, this can save you over $2,000 in tax. To do this, you need to
follow the simple steps required for any formal employee benefit plan
recognized by the IRS. The cost to setup this plan is $150 at Freedom
Benefits (www.FreedomBenefits.org) and you should plan to spend about
$150 per year on accounting and keeping the plan up-to-date.
