The Secure Act has created the greatest opportunity for Estate Planning attorneys since the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA), a U.S. tax reform package that, among other things, created new employer-sponsored retirement plans and allowed for higher IRA contributions. Since then, significant changes have been made to the structure of planning IRAs. It is now more important than ever to understand the options available to your clients.
In this practical webinar, you will explore how planning for IRAs has evolved over the years—how it has changed, and how it has stayed the same. You will also examine Estate Planning Asset protections and “stretch” opportunities available. In addition, you will discuss the importance of identifying the Beneficiary’s Annual Income (BAI) and the Excess Annual Trust Tax (EATT™) when choosing the best planning strategies.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Determine the best options available for eligible designated, and other, beneficiaries
- Calculate the tax impact for IRAs while living, after death, and 10 years after death, and determine best results for your clients
- Utilize trusts after death to protect the IRA and minimize taxes
- Determine when to choose a Roth conversion while living or a Rothalike™ Trust
- Identify the type of beneficiary and IRA amount to maximize the stretch and minimize taxes
