The Show:
When it comes to the SECURE Act, there were many new changes, including changes related to inherited IRAs. If you are a Baby Boomer, you may not have much experience with an inherited IRA, because previously people had a pension and less money in an IRA that got passed down.
As of January 2020, the SECURE Act changed the rules on inherited IRAs. On this episode of Your Money, Your Life we talk about what stretch IRAs used to look like as well as what the new rules are for inherited IRAs under the SECURE Act. For starters, the required minimum distributions (RMDs) on inherited IRAs will look quite a bit different.
Instead of a required annual distribution throughout your life like in a stretch IRA, there is now a ten-year timeline to withdraw all of the funds. But wait, there’s more! This ten-year rule doesn’t apply to all beneficiaries–there are five classes of eligible designated beneficiaries who are exempt from this new rule.
While it might sound complicated, once you understand the rules you can plan around the changes. If you have questions or concerns, be sure to meet with a financial advisor to clear up any confusion and get some clarity on these new rules.
In the Cash Connection, Jerry in Monroe keeps hearing that Roth IRAs are better than traditional IRAs but is confused by the contribution limits and rules. Don explains some of the contribution limits, income limits, and benefits when it comes to Roth IRAs.
