How does the Secure 2.0 Act affect 401Ks? In this episode, Matt Ruttenberg discusses the Secure 2.0 Act and how it can significantly affect tax credits for business owners. The Secure 2.0 Act is a piece of legislation that aims to improve retirement security for Americans.

The Secure 2.0 Act offers three main tax credits for businesses that offer retirement plans, including an administration tax credit of $250 per non-highly compensated participant up to 100% of administration fees, and an auto-enroll credit of $500 for the first three years of a plan starting in 2023.

The tax credits are only applicable to new plans, and there is still some clarification needed around certain details. Matt highlights various changes and tax credits for retirement plans that will be implemented in 2023. The contribution tax credit is the biggest and most significant tax credit, providing up to $1, 000 per participant who earns $100, 000 or less per year. This credit covers a new tax credit for small businesses that offer retirement plans.
