Before this course, many tax, accounting, and finance professionals may find the array of rules and regulations surrounding Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) daunting. The complexity of managing different types of IRAs, understanding rollovers versus transfers, calculating distributions, and avoiding penalties can be overwhelming. This lack of clarity can lead to missed opportunities in providing optimal advice to clients, potentially resulting in financial penalties or suboptimal IRA management.

After completing this course, participants will experience a significant shift in their understanding and ability to advise on IRA-related matters. The course bridges the knowledge gap by providing in-depth insights into the nuances of Rollover, Traditional, and Inherited IRAs. Participants will learn to accurately identify rollovers and transfers and their tax implications, calculate distributions that avoid penalties, and determine applicable penalties and avoidance strategies. Additionally, they will be updated on the latest changes brought by the proposed Secure Regulations and SECURE 2.0. Equipped with this comprehensive understanding, participants will be able to confidently guide their clients in making informed decisions about their IRAs, ensuring efficient and penalty-free IRA management.
