Course Description

The primary means of funding an IRA is by making regular contributions. And, while contributing to an IRA is a simple enough process, IRA owners must consider other means of funding and tax benefits. Failure to comply with the rules and limitations creates room for costly mistakes including loss of tax deferred status and excise tax.

In this program, national IRA expert Denise Appleby will take you through the rules for making contributions to Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs; explain the factors to consider when choosing between Roth and Traditional IRAs, the required minimum distribution rules, qualified charitable distributions (QCD) considerations and more.
