Keogh Plan
A federal tax regulation that allows self-employed people to put money aside for retirement by allowing them to put pretax earnings into a trust account. The plan, also known as an HR-JO Plan, allows self-employed individuals (but not independent contractors) to deduct this cost as an ordinary business expense on their tax return and invest these Keogh funds in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. All profits and gains from these investments are tax-free. After the age of 59.5 and upon retirement, the funds can be taken without penalty. Taxes are owed at this time, but the taxpayer is most likely in a reduced tax category, and if the money is divided over ten years, a special ten-year averaging mechanism decreases the tax even further. Withdrawals are not permitted after the age of 70.5.
