Chapter 1: Introduction to Section 125 Plans

In the realm of employee benefits and tax savings, Section 125 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code emerges as a vital resource for both employers and employees. Commonly referred to as a "cafeteria plan," Section 125 enables employees to transform taxable cash benefits, such as salaries, into non-taxable alternatives. Our partner organization specializes in guiding businesses through the implementation of these plans, potentially allowing your business to save between $700 and $800 for each W2 employee annually, provided your company has at least ten employees, all without incurring extra costs.

Pre-Tax Advantages for Employees

Section 125 plans empower employees to allocate a portion of their salaries into a pre-tax plan. This setup means that these contributions are exempt from federal income tax, most state income taxes, and FICA taxes, which support Social Security and Medicare. For employees, this equates to direct financial savings and a decrease in their taxable income.

Employer Benefits: Reduced Payroll Taxes

Employers also reap considerable advantages. The pre-tax contributions from employees lower the overall payroll amount, leading to a reduction in the employer's payroll tax responsibilities. This not only translates into immediate savings for the company but also enriches the employee benefits package, contributing to employee retention and satisfaction.

Flexible Options for Diverse Needs

These plans can encompass Premium Only Plans (POPs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), offering a range of options to meet varied employee needs. POPs facilitate payment of insurance premiums on a pre-tax basis, whereas FSAs allow employees to allocate pre-tax dollars for qualified healthcare and dependent care expenses.
