THE STORY

Most people are distracted now…

January 1, 2020: The US Government passed a new tax act called the SECURE Act.

The act was meant to give the government increased taxes and reduced deficits, not to make the American citizen more secure. If the government needed our money before the pandemic, they really need our money now! One of the largest assets of the American people are their retirement plans, and this pool of money has never been taxed.

The government not only wants more of your assets. They want them quicker.

                                                                   DID YOU KNOW?                                                                            The new tax act of January 1, 2020 destroyed any multi-generational planning for qualified funds.

The SECURE Act will make seniors insecure.

What does that mean to you? Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.

This affects all qualified money: IRA, 401k, 403b, 457, SEPs, etc.

Two parts to the SECURE Act every senior needs to know:

  • The Stretch IRA was eliminated   
  • It extends the RMD age from 72 to 73-75 over the next 10 years
                               the second version of this law changed the ages above
What Does This Mean?

THE CONSEQUENCES OF NAMING YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN BENEFICIARIES

Forces larger distributions later when one probably can be in a higher tax bracket with less deductions
Forced Distributions = Ten Year Tax Curse that beneficiary must add to their current income for 10 years
  • Higher taxes for children and grandchildren
  • Government has targeted to take more out of wealthier people’s IRA’s
  • Forced distribution can disqualify children out of social programs
  • Children and grandchildren get access to large amounts of money with no spending control
  • The stock market is unpredictable and can force someone to take RMD’s when the market value is down

THE CONSEQUENCES OF NAMING YOUR SPOUSE AS BENEFICIARY

Forces larger distributions later when one probably will be in a higher tax bracket with less deductions
  • Higher tax bracket for surviving spouse (as much as 80% higher marginal tax bracket after death as apposed to while living)
  • Government has targeted to take more out of wealthier peoples IRA’s
  • The stock market is unpredictable and can force someone to take a distribution when the value is down
  • For some couples the surviving spouse after death might have to pay taxes for instance, when before passing where in the 0% tax bracket and now would have to pay income taxes but also taxes on social security

    Compounding Problems for Seniors

    • The following common realities compound the need for seniors to take larger distributions:
  • 47% of seniors aged 65 will pass away before life expectancy
  • 70% of people over 65 will need extended care
  • 90% of couples over 65 either one or both of the members will die prematurely or need extended care
  • Most seniors will scramble for money
The Solution
At least one spouse in 90% of American couples age 65 and older will either need extended care or die before life expectancy.

AN EXAMPLE

The following example is just one of the designs. This design guarantees income after taxes to the client for their lifetime and protects the asset from market loss or if the client needs extended care.

All designs return at least the original amount back to the beneficiaries tax free, if that is what the client desires.

The client always has the choice of leaving less to their heirs and obtaining a higher guaranteed income for life. (Tradeoffs particular to the client of either leaving more to heirs or having higher guaranteed income).
