Smooth Income

Income for attorneys can be lumpy. Defer fees in the good years and draw upon them in the bad one's to smooth your income.

Pay less taxes

Income smoothing will also lower the bracket. Doing this year over year will result in much lower tax burden.

Plan for the future

Fee deferral has no RMD. If a large unexpected case comes in, use it to set your kids up for life. Or use it to plan your own retirement.

What is an Attorney Fee Deferral?

Similar to a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The income tax that would normally be due on the income that you generate from a particular case, is deferred to future years when you actually receive distributions.

Why would you want to defer you fee?

You would be able to invest the full amount of your fee, rather than just the after tax portion. Also, you can spread you income and taxes out over several tax years. For many this means a smoothing of income. This means less wild peaks and valleys in income, and income tax.

How does this result in lower tax?

By spreading income received out over several years attorneys stay in a lower tax bracket.

Is it like a supercharged 401(k)?

Essentially yes. It is like a 401(K) plan but with no limits on contributions, and no requirement that other attorneys or employees at your firm participate.
