Your and your client’s IRAs and retirement plans are at risk of accelerated taxation.
The SECURE Act killed the Stretch IRA—the greatest tax break for IRA owners in U.S. history. Subject to exceptions, your heirs will not be able to defer taxes on inherited IRA benefits over their lifetime but will be required to pay taxes within 10 years of your death.
The inauguration of Joe Biden, a Democratic Congress, the $1.9 trillion and other pandemic relief packages, and the Sunset Provisions of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 all point to massive income tax increases for IRA and retirement plan owners. How can you protect yourself, your family, and your clients?
Does your estate plan include traditional documents that “fix in stone” the distribution of your assets to your heirs? If so, then your heirs are not likely to get the full benefit of your legacy. Updating wills and trusts for greater flexibility will allow your surviving spouse nine months after your death to determine the best strategies.
This course will include strategies to help ensure financial security for your surviving spouse and your heirs after you pass.
Learning Objectives
What You’ll Learn:
- The SECURE Act triggers a massive income tax acceleration on your IRAs after you pass. Learn strategies to minimize the negative impact of the SECURE Act.
- Developing the best estate plan for your family.
- Why leaving your IRA to a Charitable Remainder Trust could be more beneficial to your heirs than leaving your IRA to them outright.
- The Sunset Provisions of the TC&J Act of 2017 will not only increase income tax rates but also will dramatically lower the federal estate tax exemption. The strategies presented will potentially not only save income taxes, but also estate taxes.
- Who Gets What? By simply switching who gets what assets, you can create enormous tax savings:
- Tax-savvy charitable bequests.
- Strategies that can save hundreds of thousands of dollars if the children of the IRA owner are in different tax brackets.
- Second spouse and children from prior marriage.
- Gifting strategies combined with transferring assets from the taxable world to the tax-free world.
- And much more.
