Course Description
Roth Conversions have always had the potential to unlock hidden value. In the past, it was perhaps simple nominal conversions to take advantage of a low-income year. However, the SECURE Act expands the impact of Roth Conversions beyond a rate arbitrage game to an estate planning issue that should have broader interest.
The paradigm shift from life expectancy distributions to a 10-year distribution is at its core a mathematical problem. Therefore, quantitative driven strategies can mitigate the impact of lost deferral and Roth conversions will be the primary tool for most families.
This is not a class designed to help wealthy clients, but rather will provide advice for the mass-affluent.
Specially, we will review the following:
- General conversion concepts
- Reasons to convert to a Roth IRA
- Taxation of Roth IRA conversions
- Taxation of Roth IRA distributions
- Mathematics of Roth IRA conversions
- Recharacterizations
- Federal and State Estate tax considerations
- The SECURE Act
- “Stretch” Roth IRAs for designated beneficiaries
- Roths for SNTs
- Roth to fund long-term care strategies
- Using insurance to preserve post-death “stretch-out”
- Tax-sensitive withdrawal strategies
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the impact of various legislation on IRAs, required minimum distributions (RMDs), and Roth conversions and apply them to client situations.
- Identify appropriate considerations needed when contemplating Roth conversions and resulting impacts both positive and negative.
