IRA Distributions

Our lawmakers have created a number of incentives to encourage careful planning for retirement years. In the case of what Congress terms qualified plans -- an IRA, 401 (K), Keogh, and the like -- these incentives typically include the deferring of income tax on contributions and earnings to these plans. Americans have embraced these incentive savings plans with enthusiasm! In fact, many individuals and families may have planned so well for retirement that a new, potentially devastating tax reality has been created.  Without proper planning there may be payment of significant taxes by the IRA owner's beneficiaries (e.g. spouse and children).

There are some smart retirement asset planning ideas designed to limit or avoid multi-tier taxation problems.  For example, transferring the IRA to a tax free trust may be the best way to limit the taxation problems.  These are other ideas are discussed below.
