Posted by accountingweb on Jun 30 2005 151 printer friendly

A new CD-ROM from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) outlines everything small business owners need to know to establish and maintain Individual Retirements Arrangement-based retirement plans for their employees.

“IRA Resource Guide for Small Business Owners and Individuals” provides entrepreneurs with information about traditional and Roth IRAs as well as IRA-based retirement plans for employers including simplified employee pensions (SEPs), simple IRAs and payroll-deduction IRA plans. In addition to information, the disc contains video clips, forms and publications, frequently asked questions (FAQs), checklists and interactive learning opportunities.

To get a free copy of the disc, call the IRS toll-free number 1-800-TAX-FORM (829-3676) and ask for Publication 4395. An online version is also available.
