google lance wallach for help This paper reviews Section 79 and the potential challenges facing employers regarding the structure of their employee benefit plans. Without a properly structured plan, employees may be responsible for paying federal taxes on imputed income, and employers may be faced with substantial additional administrative work and costs in calculating imputed income. IRS regulations require that imputed income be reported as it is incurred through the year. Therefore, it must be incorporated in payroll during the course of the year. Imputed income may not simply be included in the year-end W-2. Imputed income is also subject to regular payroll taxes including FICA. Many large employers offer a group life insurance plan to employees that include basic and voluntary life insurance on employees and voluntary life insurance on dependents. It is common knowledge that ‘imputed income’ under Section 79 of the Internal Revenue Code must be calculated on employer-paid basic life insurance in excess of $50,000.1 However, employers may not know that under certain circumstances, imputed income calculations must also consider voluntary life insurance on employees. Employers also may not realize that under certain circumstances imputed income must be calculated for voluntary life insurance on dependents. For the reasons outlined previously, most employers do not wish to calculate imputed income on voluntary life insurance on employees or dependents and careful forward planning is therefore essential.

What is a Section 79 Plan?Protection, Retirement, Innovation. A permanent benefit life insurance plan (using IRS codes) that can add substantial retirement income via sheltered cash accumulation and protection to the business owner(s) as well as the employees at a minimal cost and in a tax-advantaged way.
Why Would A Company (and a Business Owner) Want to Implement a Section 79 Plan*?
1. Additional Permanent Life Insurance Protection 2. No Limits on Funding 3. Tax-Deferred Growth of Funds 4. Employee Benefit with Minimal Costs 5. Tax Deductabilty of Plan 6. Income-Tax Free Survivor Benefit 7. Distances Assets from Company Creditors 8. Program Supported by Specific IRS Tax Code and Regulations
Structure: FOR THE BUSINESS OWNER AND KEY EMPLOYEES Business Pays Tax Deductible Premium on Corporate Sponsored Group Life Insurance Policy (permanent life) on behalf of the business owner or key employee Life Insurance Company Issues Insurance Policy Insuring Key Employee's Life Premium is only Partially Taxable to Owner-Employee or Key Employee Employee Owns Policy and All Rights Associated with the Policy Income Tax-Free Death Benefit is Paid to Key Employee's Beneficiary
ce arrangements, or disqualified benefits pursuant to Section 4976. Taxpayers participating in these listed transactions should have, in most cases, already disclosed such participation to the Service. Those who have not should do so at the earliest possible moment. Failure to disclose can result in severe penalties – up to $100,000 for
individuals and $200,000 for corporations.
Finally, Revenue Ruling 2007-65 focused on situations where cash value life insurance is
purchased on owner employees and other key employees, while only term insurance is offered to the rank and file. These are sold as 419(e), 419A (f)(6), and 419 plans. Life insurance premiums are not inherently tax deductible and authority must be found in Section 79 to justify such a deduction. Section 264(a), in fact, specifically disallows tax deductions for life insurance, at least in some cases. And moreover, the Service declared, interposition of a trust does not change the nature of the transaction.

"Welfare Benefit Plan" tax schemes are gaining popularity among sole proprietors about like crack cocaine, and they promise to be much more harmful to their health.
As we all know, businesses that provide benefits to their employees, such as health care and insurance, write the costs of those welfare benefit programs off on their taxes. Welfare Benefit Plan tax schemes are promoted as a way for sole proprietors to do the same thing, providing their favorite employee (themselves) with cleverly crafted welfare benefits, writing the costs of those benefits off as tax deductions. So, as the scheme goes, you pump massive amounts of income into a cash value life insurance policy, deducting those premiums as a tax deduction, while building a cash value that you can later cash out, or borrow against, "tax free." The promoters of these schemes generally explain (with a wink and a nod) that when you begin to cash out, you have an obligation to report that money as income, because insurance policy proceeds are not generally taxable, and these withdrawals are not reportable by the issuer of the policy.
In other words, these Welfare Benefit Plans are promoted to be like some special IRA that you can put all the money in you want, write the contributions off your taxes, and pull the money out later without any notification to the IRS . . . unless you tell them.
Internal Revenue Code Sections 419, and 419A, define the rules allowing employers to make tax deductible contributions to Welfare Benefit Plans, in order to provide their employees with medical and life insurance benefits. There is nothing inherently wrong with these plans; the IRS acknowledges that businesses often maintain welfare benefit funds that fully comply with the intent of Sections 419 and 419A and, in fact, provide meaningful medical and life insurance benefits to their employees, making substantial contributions to those funds that the IRS accepts as fully deductible.
On the other hand, the IRS does take issue with the Welfare Benefit Plans that are being promoted to sole proprietors and small businesses as a way to avoid federal income taxes via schemes th
Revenue Ruling 2007-65 Impacts Marketing of IRC Section 419(e) Single Employer Plans
IRS recently issued Revenue Ruling 2007-65 along with IRS Notices 2007-83 and 2007-84. This guidance is intended to warn taxpayers that certain IRC Section 419(e) “single employer welfare benefit plans” that use cash value life insurance to fund plan benefits may not provide the income tax deductions advocated by plan sponsors and promoters. Revenue Ruling 2007-65 provides the rationale for non-deductibility based on an interpretation of IRC Section 264(a). Notice 2007-83 speaks about welfare benefit trusts that use cash value life insurance to fund pre-retirement benefits for active employees and Notice 2007-84 addresses arrangements that provide post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits. In addition, the notices state that these arrangements are now considered to be “listed transactions” for purposes of the tax shelter rules. This will burden taxpayers with reporting and disclosure responsibilities and additional penalties for non-compliance. Promoters may need to register their plans as tax shelter transactions.
