What are the first steps to learning about and setting up a retirement plan?

A good place to start is by contacting a tax professional familiar with retirement plans or a financial institution that offers retirement plans. Helpful reading materials and IRS websites are listed at the end of this page.

What are the stages of sponsoring a retirement plan?

Sponsoring a retirement plan has four stages: Choosing, Establishing, Operating, and Terminating the plan.

Choosing

You begin by:

  • thinking ahead toward retirement in general; and
  • learning about the specific ways that money can be put aside for your and your employees’ retirement, including types of tax-qualified retirement plans.

Establishing

You take the necessary steps to put your plan in place. Depending on the type of plan you choose, the administrative steps may include:

  • adopting a written plan;
  • arranging a fund for the plan’s assets;
  • notifying eligible employees about the terms of the plan; and
  • developing a recordkeeping system.

Operating

You want to operate your retirement plan so that the assets in the plan continue to grow and the tax-benefits of the plan are preserved. The ongoing steps you need to take to operate your plan may vary depending on the type of plan you establish. Your basic steps will include:

  • covering eligible employees;
  • making contributions;
  • keeping the plan up-to-date with retirement plan laws;
  • managing the plan assets;
  • providing information to employees participating in the plan; and
  • distributing benefits.

Terminating

When your plan no longer suits your business, you will close out the plan and notify the appropriate parties.

You may want to discuss these four stages with a tax professional familiar with retirement plans or a financial institution that offers retirement plans.
