• IRAs Part 2 - How to Move Money Correctly Between Retirement Plans
  September 9, 2022, 10:00 am CDT
  The terms "rollovers" and "transfers" are the most misused and abused words in the whole IRA dictionary. They are very often used interchangeably when explaining how to move retirement plan funds. You might think "What's the big deal if I say 'rollover' or 'transfer'? It's not the words that come out of your mouth that are the problem. It's how it's coded in the system and reported to the IRS that becomes a huge problem.

  September 15, 2022, 10:00 am CDT
  One of the most complicated areas of IRAs is the distribution of funds to IRA owners and beneficiaries - especially when it seems like the IRS changes the rules every week. Right now there are proposed regulations pending and several bills in Congress that will affect IRAs. This timely update is a necessity to keep your customers on the right track to avoid IRS penalties.
