Course Description:
Now that we have a “permanent” estate tax law, our clients’ attention has been diverted to other tax issues. Chief among these; how to reduce the income tax burden associated with Individual Retirement Accounts. This class will provide an overview of income and estate taxation related to IRAs. We will focus particularly on increasing the amount available as an inheritance to charities, children, grandchildren, and others. We will also look at the disastrous Clark v. Rameker decision, which destroyed bankruptcy protection for inherited retirement accounts, and how IRA trusts can provide spendthrift, asset, and bankruptcy protection for any size of a retirement account. Finally, we will highlight expanded services that tax professionals could offer to their clients. Emergency Update: What has the SECURE Act done to retirement account planning! This is a cutting edge class!

Knowledge Level: Overview

Learning Objectives:

#1: Thoroughly understand IRA contribution and distribution rules.

#2: Review distribution and asset protection strategies in light of the SECURE Act's passage. 

#3: Examine situations in which IRA trusts could, or should, be used.
