Qualified retirement plans as a tax planning resource are often overlooked due to the perceived complexities and administrative oversight required to keep in compliance. In light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, many small business owners, in particular those with pass-through entities classified as a Specified Service Trade or Business, may find adopting qualified retirement plans a very attractive option.
