Payroll
Deduction IRA
Providing
valuable benefits for your employees doesn't have to be
difficult or costly. With a Payroll Deduction IRA Service,
it isn't - in fact - it has no cost to the employer. It's
basically the employees' own IRA's, the employer simply
facilitate the contribution process by setting up the
deduction out of employees' payroll checks.
FileTax's

opportunity to add to the benefits you offer your employees
by providing them with a flexible and easy way to save
for retirement (or toward the purchase of first home,
etc. See the "exceptions" under "early
distribution" in this IRS
article about traditional IRA's. Roth IRA's also have
first-time
home buyer exception.)

Yes it
is true that there is no deductions for your business. But
that's simply because the company does not make any contribution
for the employees. Payroll Deduction IRA is really a "no-fuss"
way (quoated right out of the IRS article) to help retain
employees and help them save for their future. Especially
for small businesses, because this service takes so little
effort, it makes so much sense.

up this service for your company.
Employees
please also feel free to call. With such easy administration,
it shouldn't be difficult to convince your employer to offer
this service. (Once set up, it pretty much goes on "auto
pilot.") If your employer is unwilling to set up a service
that costs no money, perhaps you want to re-evaluate how much
your employer value you as a member of the organization anyway.
* Automatic
investment plans do not assure a profit or protect against
losses in declining markets. Since such plans involve continuous
investments regardless of price levels of fund shares, investors
should consider their financial ability to continue purchases
through periods of low price levels
