1 Section 79 Plans Copyright 2005 The Wealth Preservation Institute 139 N. Whittaker New Buffalo, MI
2 Typical Small Business Client Age 35-55, married 1-3 children employees. 1-3 owners. Making $150,000+ a year. Has UL or WL for: Death benefit Retirement vehicle Policy premium is paid for with post-tax dollars. 2
3 Ways to Buy Life Insurance Post-tax: Simply cut a check from a personal bank account. Qualified plan Premium is paid for with deductible dollars but the DB will be subject to estate taxes* VEBA Premium is paid for by company as a deduction. DB can pass income and estate tax free. Client has no access to cash value except for post retirement medical* QPIP Used to mitigate the 75% tax trap Used for clients that are typically older than Corporation simply pays for policy and deducts premium. Key man for example. If deduction taken, DB will be taxed. Section 79 Plan Policy is 35-45% deductible; owned individually by the client and the staff costs are typically minor. 3
4 What is a Section 79 Plan? A Section 79 Plan falls under the group term life insurance section of the IRC. There is really no such thing as a Section 79 Plan in the code. The term Section 79 Plan comes from how Section 79 in the IRC is used to benefit the owners of business through the purchase of cash value life insurance. 4
5 IRC Definition of Group Term Life Insurance An employer may provide up to $50,000 face amount of life insurance without cost to the employees. Amounts over $50,000 must be included in the employees W-2 as additional compensation. Group term life can include a permanent benefit (cash value). Group term life is usually purchased as a real live employee benefit plan for the benefit of the lower wage employees. 5
6 Continued Group term life insurance plans are employee benefit plans. As EE benefit plans, discrimination in how the benefits are offered becomes important (you can not discriminate). Most employers who offer group term health insurance have a small amount of group term life insurance included in their plans. A group insurance plan can be established using a single master policy, individually owned policies, or a combination of the two. The employer can not be the owner or beneficiary of the policies in a Section 79 Plan. 6
7 Who can adopt a Section 79 Plan*? C Corporation* Partnership but cannot include any partners Sub S but cannot include any 2% or greater shareholders No sole proprietors 7
8 Cash Value Life Insurance Under Treasury Regulation , the term portion of a life insurance policy that includes a permanent benefit can qualify as group term insurance. The regulations define a permanent benefit as an economic value extending beyond one policy year, such as a cash surrender value. 8
9 $50,000 in Term Life An employer may provide employees with up to $50,000 face amount of group term life insurance protection each year without cost to the employee. To the extent that the $50,000 is exceeded, the cost must be included in the gross income of the employee and is reportable on the employee s W-2 as additional compensation. This cost is determined under a table provided by the Service and is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. 9
10 Permanent Benefits An employee insured under a policy containing permanent benefits under Section 79, may offset the amount included in the employee s income each tax year from corporate payments by the amount the employee has paid for permanent benefits. The cost of the permanent insurance benefits under the policy, reduced by any contributions for such benefits by the employee, will be shown on the employee s W2 in the section entitled other compensation. 10
11 Cash Value Life Old Section 79 Plans used springing cash value policies because the amount an EE had to recapture as income from a cash value policy was determined by using the cash surrender value. However this was prior to the February 13, 2004 release by the IRS of proposed regulations issued to combat the abuses in 412(i) plans being marketed and sold. (Rev. Proc ). New proposed regulations were issued in April of 2005 (Rev. Proc ) to clarify
12 Continued 6. The employer paid insurance premiums constitute additional compensation to the employees; the aggregate compensation payable to each employee involved, including all the costs of all fringe benefits and qualified plan contributions, must not exceed reasonable compensation for services rendered within the meaning of the Code section 162(a)(1). 12
13 Continued Bottom Line The companies that create illustrations for clients will tell you how much is includible as income and That will be about 55-65% of the premiums paid. 13
14 Requirements of a (IRC) The life insurance must meet four conditions to be considered group term life insurance and qualify for special tax exclusion by employees. 1. It must provide a general death benefit, excludable from gross income under IRC Section 101(a). 2. It must be provided to a group of employees as compensation for personal services performed as an employee. on S corporation employees who own more than 2% of the stock or more than 2% of the voting power are treated like partners and thus insurance is not excludable. 14
15 Continued 3. The insurance must be provided under a policy carried directly or indirectly by the employer. A policy meets this requirement if an employer pays any or all of the cost. The policy can be a master policy or a group of individual policies 4. The amount of the insurance provided to each employee must be computed under a formula that precludes individual selection of such amounts. The formula may be based on factors such as age, years of service, compensation or position. 15
16 10 or fewer employees All EEs must be covered The following EEs may be excluded: Employees who work part-time, meaning 20 hours or less per week or five months or less in any calendar year. Employees who are in a waiting period which may extend up to six months before becoming eligible for company benefits. Employees who continue to work after they attain age 65. Those that are uninsurable. 16
17 Continued The amount of insurance provided is determined not by formula, but instead either as a uniform percentage of compensation or on the basis of coverage brackets established by the insurer. 17
18 Uninsurable issue Evidence of insurability is limited to a medical questionnaire (no medical examination) completed by the employee. Due to the fact that no medical exam can be taken by the insurance carrier in a group with less than 10 lives, insurance carriers will commonly place a limit as to the maximum face amount of insurance or the maximum amount of premium they will accept (whichever is less). Carriers will also generally not issue anything over a Table 2 rating on this basis. Section 79 Plans typically can get issued up to $2,000,000 without going through the typical underwriting process. 18
19 10 or more EE rules The plan must benefit at least 70% of all employees, or at least 85% of all participating employees must not be characterized as key employees. Typically must have at least 10 EEs covered. Coverage must be provided under a formula based on factors such as age, years of service, compensation, or position. The amount of insurance provided an employee under such a schedule must, however be computed under a formula which precludes individual selection. 19
20 Continued As long as the requirements of the regulations are met, there are no limitations on the amount of insurance that may be provided for employees who are members of the eligible group, except the total compensation for each employee, including insurance premiums and other benefits, remains reasonable. You do not want a Section 79 plan creating so much additional income for an employee that such income becomes unreasonable. 20
21 Discriminatory Benefits 1. The plan cannot discriminate in favor of key employees. 2. Discrimination rules are related to the amount of life insurance on each participant. 3. Discrimination rules are determined by a formula based on such factors as years of service, compensation and job classification. 4. Employees may purchase additional benefits. 5. Employees may elect out of the plan without affecting the plan s discrimination status, unless they are required to contribute to the cost of the benefits other than for term life insurance. 21
22 Why use a Section 79 Plan? To allow business owners to effectively write off 35-45% of their cash value life insurance policies. How? When a Section 79 plan with permanent benefits is offered to the EEs, 99%+ of them will opt for the minimum $50,000 of term coverage. EEs will opt out of the permanent benefits coverage. (All EEs must be offered permanent policies) This will create a legal discriminatory plans for the owners of small businesses. Owners/Key EEs will own individual cash value policies that effectively were 35-45% deductible. 22
23 Remember the question Who do clients typically pay for their cash value life insurance policies? They cut a post tax check out of their bank account. Would our small business clients like to pay for that same policy and have it be 35-45% deductible? YES. 23
