Mardy Gould and EHP Inc. Launch Tax-Smart Benefits Series to Help Employers Cut Taxes and Stay IRS-Compliant

EHP Inc. and Mardy Gould launch a national webinar series to help employers cut payroll taxes and stay compliant with IRS-backed benefit strategies.

JACKSONVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, July 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EHP Inc., widely recognized as The Employer’s Choice for compliant, cost-neutral employer benefit solutions, today announced the launch of a nationwide education initiative titled “The Tax-Smart Benefits Series.” Created and led by Mardy Gould, Managing Partner of EHP Inc., the series is designed to equip business owners, HR teams, CPAs, and benefit consultants with practical, legally backed knowledge on how to structure employee compensation in a way that lowers payroll tax exposure, increases take-home pay, and delivers measurable ROI without increasing total cost.

The program—delivered through live webinars, on-demand video modules, toolkits, and interactive Q&A sessions—is the latest move by EHP Inc. to expand its leadership in the emerging space of AI-driven, IRS-compliant wellness plan integration. With hundreds of employers already using EHP’s platform to implement pre-tax wellness benefits, this initiative aims to bridge the knowledge gap and give business leaders the confidence to adopt these strategies without legal uncertainty or operational confusion.

“This space is full of confusion, misinformation, and snake oil,” said Mardy Gould, Managing Partner of EHP Inc. “We’re cutting through the noise. This series gives real answers to real questions—grounded in tax code, real-world application, and audit-ready design.”

A Nationwide Call for Employer Education on Tax-Favored Wellness Plans
As healthcare costs rise and scrutiny on benefit structures tightens, employers are under increasing pressure to do more with less—offering competitive employee benefits while defending their tax position and staying compliant with IRS regulations. EHP Inc.’s model uses specific provisions of the tax code—including Sections 125, 106(a), and 213(d)—to reclassify a portion of taxable compensation into pre-tax wellness benefits, resulting in substantial FICA savings for employers and increased net pay for employees.

However, adoption has been limited not by feasibility—but by a lack of clarity.

“The Tax-Smart Benefits Series” addresses that directly.

Topics covered will include:

How Section 125, 106(a), and 213(d) legally support wellness-based compensation models

Understanding ‘constructive receipt’ and how to avoid circular flow violations

What documentation the IRS actually looks for in an audit

How to defend your plan with automated notifications and digital substantiation

Identifying when and how TPA support or carrier partnerships are necessary

Payroll integration tips: what to flag for your processor or CPA

How to compare true net employer cost between traditional and wellness-based benefits

Each live session includes a presentation from Mardy Gould or a compliance team leader, along with employer case studies, current IRS audit trends, and direct Q&A. Attendees can also request a 1:1 plan review or access customized plan design support after the session.

“The IRS isn’t saying no to these plans—they’re saying document it, defend it, and don’t abuse it,” said Mardy Gould. “That’s what we’re teaching: how to stay inside the lines while maximizing value.”
