IRAs Part 2 - How to Move Money Correctly Between Retirement Plans

The terms "rollovers" and "transfers" are the most misused and abused words in the whole IRA dictionary. They are very often used interchangeably when explaining how to move retirement plan funds. You might think "What's the big deal if I say 'rollover' or 'transfer'? It's not the words that come out of your mouth that are the problem. It's how it's coded in the system and reported to the IRS that becomes a huge problem.

  • Difference between an IRA Rollover and a QP Rollover
  • 60-day rule and once-per-12-month rule
  • Difference between and IRA rollover and an IRA transfer from IRA to IRA

  • Rules governing rollovers and transfers after the owner reaches age 72
  • How nonspouse beneficiaries move money between retirement plans

IRAs Part 3 - Distributions to Owners and Beneficiaries

One of the most complicated areas of IRAs is the distribution of funds to IRA owners and beneficiaries - especially when it seems like the IRS changes the rules every week. Right now there are proposed regulations pending and several bills in Congress that will effect IRAs. This timely update is a necessity to keep your customers on the right track to avoid IRS penalties.

  • New federal income tax withholding rules
  • When an IRA owner postpones their first RMD
  • When beneficiaries have optional distributions and/or must take an RMD
  • Different types of beneficiaries for payout options

  • Who is required to take the deceased owner's RMD and report to the IRS
  • 9 red flags of beneficiary payouts

IRAs Part 4 - How to Audit IRA Files

What do your IRA files contain? Too much paperwork? Not enough paperwork? With the change-over of IRA personnel, both good and bad habits of the previous employees may turn into a legal nightmare.

  • Proper documentation to open, close, move, and maintain an IRA
  • Record retention of closed IRA files
  • How to review IRA procedures and documentation flow
  • Checking the IRA transactions for proper coding and reporting
  • Reports generated by your system to review IRS reporting before it is submitted
