By Lance Wallach, CLU, ChFC and Ira Kaplan, Esq., CPA, MBAOver the past decade, business owners have been overwhelmed by a plethora of arrangements designed to reduce the cost of providing employee benefits and taxes, while simultaneously increasing their own retirement savings. The solutions ranged from traditional pension and profit sharing plans to more advanced strategies.Some strategies, such as IRS Section 419 and 412(i) plans, used life insurance as vehicles to bring about benefits. Unfortunately, the high life insurance commissions (often 90% of the contribution, or more) fostered an environment that led to the marketing and selling of aggressive and noncompliant plans.The result has been thousands of audits and an IRS task force seeking out tax shelter promotion. In addition, the IRS has been auditing most 412(i) defined benefit retirement plans and all 419 welfare benefit plans. These plans are sold by many insurance agents.

Home insurance includes building and contents insurance. These are two separate insurance policies that are often sold with each other. Buildings insurance provides cover for harm to the building. Contents insurance provides cover for contents within. Homeowners should have both. Renters only need contents insurance. Insurers typically offer them along with each other. But you can buy them separately and even purchase then from different insurers.A buildings insurance policy protects the building itself and is often taken out with a mortgage. Buildings insurance can also include garden sheds, garages and exterior walls. What is actually covered may vary. It pays to check exactly what is included when you are getting a quote for the policy. Contents insurance protects all of the general belongings in the home, such as furniture, clothing, electrical goods, and personal items and other possessions.
