Which of the following statements about non-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans is false?
  1. An employer does not have to offer the plan to all employees over 21 years old.
  2. The earnings on the plan’s contributions remain untaxed until they are withdrawn.
  3. The plan does not have to abide by ERISA’s vesting requirements.
  4. The plan may be either funded or unfunded.
Explanation
Answer: B - The false statement is that the earnings on the plan’s contributions remain untaxed until they are withdrawn. Earnings on non-qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans do not grow tax-deferred except for a special situation in which a sizeable forfeiture risk exists. All the other statements are true since non-qualified employer-sponsored plans are exempt from most, if not all, of ERISA’s requirements.
