Learning Objective

  • Recognize the various IRAs' tax and non-tax advantages and disadvantages (i.e., Traditional, Roth, SEP, SIMPLE, and HSAs).
  • Know how to calculate the maximum contributions to and taxable distributions from the various IRAs.
  • Recall the exceptions to the 10% early withdrawal penalty from IRAs.
  • Identify the foundational tax concepts of retirement distribution planning.

Course Overview

Opening, funding, distributions, taxation rollovers, and beneficiaries are all essential facets of dealing with the regular and Roth IRAs, including employer IRAs. The tax rules associated with the IRA can be incredibly complex, particularly in the area of distributions and beneficiaries. We will work through these complexities and the issues to help you assist your clients in making the critical decisions necessary to take full advantage of the powerful tax and distribution opportunities that Congress has imparted on the IRA.

This comprehensive online CE course is designed to quickly familiarize the accountant with the different types of individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The cornerstone of the course is in-depth coverage of the contribution and distribution rules for Traditional Roth, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), and Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs. The online continuing education course will also discuss the basics of health savings accounts (HSAs), retirement planning, and any newly enacted tax legislation related to IRAs.

This CE webinar covers the following key topics:

  • An emphasis on newly enacted tax legislation affecting IRAs, including those made by the SECURE & CARES Act
  • Contribution limits to and tax treatment of distributions from Traditional, Roth, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs
  • Deductible phase-out limits for Traditional IRA contributions for taxpayers who are active participants in qualified retirement plans
  • Roth IRA contribution phase-out limits, as well as tax-free qualified distributions
  • Planning opportunities for conversions to ROTH IRAs
  • Rollover rules to/from different retirement accounts and the one-rollover-per-year limitation
  • Traditional IRA Deductibility Rules
  • 2024 Roth IRA Contribution Phase-Out Schedule
  • 2024 Retirement Savings Contribution Credit Limits
