Overview

Employer-sponsored retirement plans constitute one of the important “legs” of the retirement stool that individuals look to for their income in retirement. The other two legs of that stool are personal savings—through investment in securities, deferred annuities, savings accounts, etc.—and Social Security retirement benefits. This course will examine qualified employee plans, their limits and their tax treatment along with a discussion of annuities and their taxation.

Legislation titled “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019” (SECURE Act) became law, effective January 1, 2020. The new law’s provisions effects on  retirement plans of clients are discussed in detail.
