Webinars

While the rules outlined in IRC Section 409A of the Jobs Act went into effect on January 1, 2007, the confusion continues even to this day.

Today’s challenging economic environment and increased scrutiny of compensation—particularly for executives—means companies must keep a close eye on the changing tax environment, and, if these plans are even still appealing.

Why not take the time now to invest in some real training? Join IOMA and our expert faculty for a can’t-miss webinar covering the fundamentals of deferred compensation reporting and wage withholding requirements.

Grab all your payroll and benefits personnel (one registration qualifies you for as many listeners as you can fit into that conference room!) for this overview of the operating rules for nonqualified deferred compensation, including techniques that are no longer viable as well as workable alternatives currently seen in the marketplace.

Attend this comprehensive presentation on February 23 at 2PM ET and you will learn:

• What is nonqualified deferred compensation?
• What are the exceptions to this definition and how should they be handled?(e.g., short-term deferrals, certain equity compensation, restricted property, separation pay arrangements)
• All about election requirements—when they must be made AND when re-deferrals are permitted
• Understanding distribution rules—when are they permitted and allowable delays to distribution timing
• Reporting Requirements 101: all the facts on Form W-2 and 1099 reporting of deferrals and earnings
• How to identify plans and benefits subject to IRC 409A
• The New IRS 409A Correction Procedures that allow employers to fix broken plans
• All you need to know about the regulations on plan structure

Don’t miss this opportunity to lock-in the basics of deferred compensation and arm yourself with the tools you need to avoid non-compliance headaches (and fines!) this proxy season.
