The deduction between the two cannot exceed the $8,000 limit imposed by law. For example, if you decide to open an IRA account with $3,000, you may only contribute a maximum of $5,000 to the 1165(e) plan. The sum of the two cannot exceed the $8,000 limit.

Your 1165(e) plan allows you to save a larger tax-deferred amount than you would be able to save through an IRA, depending on your income level. Some 1165(e) plans allow you to apply for a loan from the money contributed to your account, which you cannot do with an IRA. The 1165(e) plan's investment options offer greater flexibility and opportunity for diversification than that offered by IRA investment options.

Answer: The employer's responsibility is to establish the plan via Board Resolution, to have in place either a full plan document or an adoption agreement, regularly withhold participant contributions, and send them in to the Custodian, if required, to submit the simplified 5500 form, and to not allow participants to over contribute.
