Everyone wants to make the most of their financial assets, and for pre-tax retirement accounts, that includes getting the most return, paying the least in taxes, and having the lowest risk. For individuals in higher tax brackets who do not have a retirement income need for all or part of their pre-tax retirement accounts, Required Minimum Distributions and Inherited IRA rules are frustrating mandates that can severely limit wealth transfer and legacy planning options.
However, there is a unique strategy, leveraging tax, estate, trust, and ERISA rules that can substantially reduce income and estate taxes and maximize the net benefit received by their heirs from their retirement assets. Key to this is utilizing the one and only asset the IRS provides preferential tax treatment for when distributing from a qualified plan.
In this course, we will be sharing and discussing this unique legacy planning strategy. You will understand how easy, safe, and effective it can be, and how it can help clients minimize their taxes and maximize their estate legacy.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify how to leverage income and estate tax, trust and ERISA rules for legacy planning
- Evaluate the most tax-advantaged ways to maximize IRA and qualified plan assets to optimize retirement wealth transfer
- Outline strategies to maximize “Net to Heirs” for legacy planning from a client’s qualified accounts
