Sorry for the delay in answering your questions. I found your email in my junk email bin – don’t know why but I have adjusted our server to accept emails from you and marcy

 

1) I’d suggest a  SEP/401(k) combination plan

2) Since the health coverage is not a plan sponsored by the firm – the reimbursement would be included in employee w-2 – deduction to firm – income to individual with the health insurance premiums being deducted on schedule A as an itemized deduction

3)yes 2 ½ would be a good starting point -  additional consideration should be given to having cash to help fund a replacement individual to perform services

John,

I have some questions.  The answers will help us make some business decision ahead.  We've already decided to transition from a P.C. to a PLLC at year's end.  Here are some of our questions.  Please let me know if you'd rather discuss it on the phone and if so, when you'd be available today.

 

1. What is the best type of structure for an IRA/401 for the Firm?  Is it a Simple IRA structure?

2. If the Firm wants to give some money to each employee designed to offset health care costs, but we don't want to provide a health care policy, how do we do that so we can have a tax write off? 

3. You've said before that we can value the Firm at our discretion.  We need some sort of guidance to determine that for a buy/sell agreement insurance policy for the equity partners.  Would 2 1/2 times the annual projected revenue this year be a good starting place?

4.  How much more should a buy/sell insurance policy cover besides the projected value of the Firm?  

 

V/r,

Neal
