Prior law left a lot to be desired regarding distributions from

qualified plans

Terms:

Required Beginning Date (RBD)

Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)

The date when a participant MUST begin taking their retirement money

IRAs – required at 70½

Non-IRAs – normally at 70½, but later is possible

A Roth IRA has no RBD for the account holder

The minimum dollar amount that can be taken by the account holder from all cumulative qualified plans

The amount taken is now subject to ordinary state and federal income tax

Penalty for under-payment – 50%

This year the account holder’s RMD was $40,000 … but took nothing.

The financial institution is required to “rat” you out! Now look what happens with the IRS:

This year the account holder’s RMD was $40,000 … but took nothing.

The financial institution is required to “rat” you out! Now look what happens with the IRS:

$20,000 penalty… that really

hurts!

18

Roll-Under … Now What is That?

Using Annuities and Life Insurance to greatly increase the ultimate payout ...

and with possible tax advantages.

- Take a distribution from all Q-Plans (maybe rolling to an annuity) and use to pay for life insurance.

- All payout will be income-tax (and estate tax) free when received by the beneficiaries … but only if the kids are NOT the beneficiaries of

the qualified plans!

18

Roll-Under … How Does It Work? Bob currently has his 3 children listed as

beneficiary of his $1.5 million in the Q-Plans

Bob – age 70 – qualifies for a $1.5 million life policy ($42,000 annual premium). (ILIT owns, pays and beneficiary)

Bob “rolls” all his Qualified money into an annuity and takes @$65,000 annually (taxable = @ $42,000 after-tax)

Bob names his favorite charity the beneficiary of his Qualified Annuity

18

Roll-Under … How Does It Work? Upon Bob’s death … the charity receives the

remainder value of his annuity and his estate receives a tax deduction on his last tax return.

The kids receive NONE of the Q-Plan proceeds nor do they have any tax liability on these

proceeds.

Upon Bob’s death … the ILIT receives the $1.5 free of any tax.

Upon Bob’s death … each child receives – from the ILIT – $500,000 free of any tax.
