This week, Gene Marks tells Loren Feldman that the politicians behind Secure 2.0 are smarter than you think.

The changes are designed to encourage both employees and owners to sock away more money, and they include a $1,000 tax credit per employee for owners who match employee savings. Plus: are non-compete clauses of any value to small businesses? And the IRS blinks on its requirement that third-party payment platforms issue 1099-K forms.
