SECURE Act: A Seismic Shift in Your Clients' Tax and Financial Plans (X3-2206870)

New legislation effective January 1, 2020. The SECURE Act could affect everything from required minimum distributions (RMDs) to inheritances. Perhaps the most significant change for your clients is the elimination of the "stretch" IRA in favor of the "10-year rule." Effective January 1st, this change will decrease wealth transfer and require estate plan updates. To avoid a potential tax disaster, your clients who have substantial qualified plan or IRA must reconsider beneficiary designations and trust provisions.
