CYAN YELLOW MAGENTA BLACK The Individual Retirement Account
(IRA) concept was introduced in 1974 with the passage of legislation known as ERISA, (Employee Retirement Income Security Act).
This legislation motivated companies to shift their retirement programs from “defined benefit” plans to “defined contribution” plans. Defined benefit plans are designed to provide employees with specified benefits upon retirement (pensions) and are highly regulated by the government.
These regulations, although important to protect the employees place a large administration burden on the employer.
IRA’s are defined contribution plans in which no promises for benefits are made. The first IRA’s were 401(k) for profit organizations and 403(b) for nonprofit, hospitals or universities. These plans are also highly regulated but also provide some flexibility to employees.
Historically small employers did not offer any type of retirement plan.
Administrative costs and documentation requirements made it impractical.
In 1996, legislation created the SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan) IRA.
The SIMPLE IRA is specifically designed for small companies. A company’s eligibility to establish a SIMPLE IRA plan is determined by the number of its employees, 100 or less, and that no other qualified retirement plan has been set up or funded in the current year.
The type of business entity is not important. It could be a self-employed person, sole proprietor, partnership or corporation.
Employees are eligible to participate in the plan if they have received at least $5,000 or more in compensation in any previous two years and could reasonably expect to receive $5,000 in the current year. All employees do not have to join, since participation is voluntary. A company may maintain the SIMPLE IRA plan regardless of the number of employees that elect to join the plan.
The SIMPLE IRA plan can be established at anytime during the year but it must operate on a calendar year basis. This means that the plans first year may be less then 12 months. Employees must be given 60 days notice before contributions are deducted from their salaries. If notice is given October 1 or later, contributions to the new plan cannot begin until the next calendar year.
The employer is required to make an annual contribution for each employee in the plan. The formula for the contribution is based upon the type of plan the employer selected; matching or non-elective. The matching plan requires the employer to make a contribution to the SIMPLE IRAs of all eligible employees of up to 3 percent of the employee’s compensation but not to exceed $6,000 per year.
The non-elective plan requires the employer to make a contribution to the SIMPLE IRAs of all eligible employees, whether or not they contribute, of 2 percent of the employee’s compensation but not to exceed $3,200 per year.
Eligible employees can contribute up to $6,000 per year or 100 percent of their compensation whichever is less.
Business owners who are self-employed can contribute $6,000 as an employee and another $6,000 as the em

The Simple IRA Is An Ideal Plan For Small Business Operators
ployer. The SIMPLE IRA offers several advantages for employees. First, employees contributions are pre-taxed and also reduce their salaries. Say an employee earned $50,000 and contributed the maximum allowed, $6,000. Their salary as reported to the IRS would be reduced to $44,000 and if they were head of a household their federal tax would be reduced by $1,680.
In essence by contributing to your retirement the government is giving you a monetary reward. Secondly, the employee has complete control as to how their monies are invested. The employer chooses the brokerage house (custodian), but the employee selects investment vehicles from any of the custodians offerings; stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and money markets.
Thirdly, the account is in the employee’s name and remains with them should they leave their employer.
The SIMPLE IRA also offers several advantages to the employer. First there is a significant reduction in administration and paperwork. Once the plan is established the custodian and the employees do most of the work.
Secondly, unlike the Keogh and SEP plans, employees contribute to the plan.
The SIMPLE IRA offers small businesses the opportunity to establish a meaningful retirement plan with benefits for both the employee and employer.

American Tire & Auto Care Offers State Inspections
WESTFIELD – American Tire & Auto Care of 600 North Avenue, East is one of the only local automobile repair facilities participating in the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicle’s new Private Inspection Facility (PIF) program.
American Tire & Auto Care now offers the new Two-Year State Inspection stickers and provides drivers with an alternative to the public facility on South Avenue.
“We feel that adding this capability allows us to provide a valuable service to drivers in the Westfield area and fits nicely with the way we have always served our customers,” said Jeff Pultorak, Manager of American Tire & Auto Care of Westfield. “The foundation of our success has always been the establishment of a premier customer service program that caters to the busy lives of our customer base. In today’s fast-paced world people cannot afford the time and hassle often associated with care.
We’ve structured our business to make our customer’s vehicle maintenance as dependable and convenient as possible. This is just another example of that.”
The new inspection program is a result of tougher environmental laws initiated by the Environmental Protection Agency. This program has already been implemented in other states, most notably California.
Over the next several months all of New Jersey’s public inspection facilities will receive the new, hightech equipment needed for the new inspections, and the facility employees will go through training on the equipment.
The new inspection procedures will take longer and the result may be longer lines at the Westfield facility.
In order for private service centers to continue to participate in the state inspection program, they, too, have to install the new equipment and implement advanced training with their personnel.
Consequently, most local private facilities looked at the new program as a problem they did not want to tackle and elected to drop out of the program.
“We looked at the new program as an opportunity,” stated Steve Shanley, President of American Tire & Auto Care. “We said ‘customer service, convenience, quality, maintenance, training, new technology — that’s what we’re all about. We have to do this.’ Plus, the fact that we are the only ones in the area that got on board demonstrates our commitment to our customers and this community.”
American Tire & Auto Care offers complete automotive repair services as well as tires, and are an AAA Approved Auto Repair Facility.
