” It notes that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses the term “church” to generically refer to a place of worship, including a synagogue or mosque, or other religious organizations that have similar characteristics, but that, despite their name, church plans can be sponsored by certain faith-based nonprofits that are not formal houses of worship.
On the other hand, it cautions that being a faith-based employer doesn’t automatically mean you’re eligible to sponsor a church plan.
It notes that before a retirement plan design is selected, it’s important to consult with tax and legal advisors to fully understand the specific corporate structure — to determine whether it is a corporation, a partnership, or a sole proprietorship, and whether it is a for-profit or nonprofit organization.
The guide also cautions asking about any organizational affiliation with a church and its taxable or tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code, as tax-exempt, faith-based entities may be eligible to sponsor certain types of plans, such as church plans, that are not available to other organizations.
Once done, make sure those details are communicated to the selected service provider so they can help match the organization with the right plan.
The guide then outlines key points and considerations — advantages, and the employer’s role for: IRA-based plans (SIMPLE, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans, or a payroll deduction IRA), 401(K) plans (traditional safe harbor, or automatic enrollment), As well as considerations regarding pooled employer plans (PEPs), or defined benefit plans.
The guide: Choosing a Retirement Plan for Your Small, Faith-Based Organization | U.S. Department of Labor [i] The organization must be tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) before it can offer a 403(b) plan.
