IRA and Qualified Plan Distributions: What you need to know in 2009


LIVE Webcast


Summary:

Legislation enacted at the end of 2008 relieves IRA and 401(k) owners older than 70 ½ from the obligation to take their minimum required distributions (MRDs) from their accounts for the 2009 calendar year. This will allow account holders to keep the money in their tax-sheltered accounts so they might not deplete their retirement assets so quickly. The legislation also can change the five-year deadline for some IRA holders to take the money out of IRAs they inherited.

Find out in this LIVE webcast. Produced by The Knowledge Congress, a panel of distinguished experts and key regulators will help the public understand Qualified Plan Distributions and the ways to manage repercussions, including best practices.
