Course Description
Responding to the “10-Year Rule” Effective January 1, 2020
After years of proposals, the “stretch” IRA was taken out of the Tax Code by the SECURE Act. The SECURE Act includes many changes to retirement plans, however the most significant change for our estate planning clients is the elimination of the “stretch” IRA in favor of the “10-year rule.” This change will decrease wealth transfer and requires estate plan updates.
Specifically, this course will include:
- Examples to explain the quantitative difference under the new law compared to the old
- The conduit trust RMD disaster and solutions
- Selecting the best “heir” to receive the IRA
- The new spousal rollover trap and disclaimer planning
- IRD meets DNI – understanding the taxation of trusts named as IRA beneficiaries
- Using CRTs to maintain deferral and bracket management – the law and the math
- Life insurance after the SECURE Act
- Charitable planning with IRAs
- The mathematics of SECURE Act motivated Roth conversions for better bracket management and greater wealth transfer
- Using IRA trusts in low tax states to achieve state tax savings by avoiding or delaying the state taxation of the lump sum payout
Learning Objectives
- After completing the course, the attendee will understand when the new “10-year rule” applies and the exceptions to the rule.

- After completing the course, the attendee will understand potential planning solutions to mitigate the tax-cost of the new “10-year rule” including: multi-generational spray trusts,
- Roth conversions, and naming a CRT as the IRA beneficiary.
