Description

Retirement Distribution Practice Aids is a collection of letters, forms, checklists in and related guidance in Word® – to help you in advising clients of their rights, choices, and obligations in the retirement distributions area.

In addition to the Wordฎ practice aids; this edition includes Brentmark's Minimum Distributions Calculator Version 7. This calculator calculates required minimum distributions under the 2002 final regulations (as well as the 2001 proposed regulations and the pre-2001 rules) from qualified plans, IRAs and Roth IRAs.

The minimum distributions calculations handle both single and joint life expectancies cases as well as spousal and non-spousal beneficiaries. Users may also enter additional plan contributions and an expected plan growth percentage to show continued plan growth.

The practice aids deal with real-life client issues and questions, including:

  • If an IRA owner or plan participant dies before taking his/her entire required minimum distribution for the year of death, what action must be taken and by whom?
  • If there are multiple beneficiaries of an IRA, how does the separate share rule work?
  • If a beneficiary dies during a term-certain payout period, what options are available to a successor beneficiary?
  • If a trust is the beneficiary of an IRA, by what date must the IRS trust documentation requirements be satisfied, and with whom?

    • Retirement Distribution Practice Aids with Distributions Calculator includes a discussion of the need and use for each practice aid. You'll find aids on:
