Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices Revenue Code (IRC), which provides a credit based on costs incurred by an employer in establishing or administering an eligible employer plan or for the retirement-related education of employees with respect to the plan. Form 8881 also implements IRC section 45T, which provides a credit for including an eligible automatic contribution arrangement (as defined in section 414(w)(3)) in a qualified employer plan sponsored by the employer. For an eligible employer, the section 45E credit is 50% of the qualified start-up costs for a tax year, up to $500 for the tax year in which the plan is established or becomes effective and each of the two subsequent tax years. For an eligible employer, the section 45T credit is $500 for the first tax year in which the automatic contribution arrangement is included in the plan and for each of the two subsequent tax years. Current Actions: The Secure 2.0 Act of 2022 added new IRC section 45AA, Military Spouse Retirement Plan Eligibility Credit for Small Employers. Section 45AA provides a general business tax credit to eligible small employers who offer defined contribution plans with specific features that benefit military spouses. The section 45AA credit is, for a tax year during which a military spouse participates in the plan, up to 3 tax years beginning with the tax year during which the military spouse began participating in the plan, $200, plus the amount of employer contributions (other than elective deferrals) made on behalf of the military spouse for any of the 3 tax years, up to $300 for a tax year. The Form 8881 is being revised to add the Section 45AA credit. Additionally, the Secure 2.0 Act amended section 45E to permit eligible employers, with 1–50 employees, an increased start-up costs credit of 100% of the qualified start-up costs for a tax year, up to $500 for the tax year in which the plan is established or becomes effective and each of the two subsequent tax years. The Secure 2.0 Act also amended section 45E to permit an additional credit for employer contributions by certain eligible employers, in an amount equal to an applicable percentage of eligible employer contributions to a defined contribution plan, for up to 5 tax years beginning with the tax year in which the plan is established. The Form 8881 is being revised to include these additions under section 45E. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
