A cure for the SECURE Act: using CRTs {PFP Section}

Guest: Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS & David Cahoone, JD, LLM Category: Technical In this episode, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS discusses the planning strategies related to the proposed SECURE Act using charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) as beneficiaries as IRAs to simulate a stretch IRA. He answers the questions: When the SECURE Act becomes law, what happens to the stretch IRA as we know it today? If the stretch IRA is gone for most descendants, is there any hope for continued life stretch-out? Is a stretch-out only a tax deferral strategy or is there more to it? How would a CRT be structured to receive retirement benefits? What are the tax consequences of naming a CRT of a retirement plan beneficiary? And more!
