In today’s podcast, David Phillips discusses the blessing and the curse of building and leaving your Qualified Accounts, like your IRA or 401k to your children and grandchildren. While our goal is to build security for our future retirement, there is such thing as too much. By leaving our Qualified money to our heirs we are simply subjecting them to a greater tax on their income as well as on the Qualified money you leave them.

The 2020 SECURE Act eliminated the Stretch IRA and introduced the onerous “10-Year-Rule.” All inherited Qualified Accounts must be distributed and cleaned out 10 years from the passing of the surviving spouse. In Part 1 of the series of Qualified Account distributions, David will not only discuss the new rules of engagement, but he will also share key strategies that you can implement to help mitigate this huge tax liability.
