18 Roll-Under … Now What is That? Using Annuities and Life Insurance to greatly increase the ultimate payout... and with possible tax advantages. -Take a distribution from all Q-Plans (maybe rolling to an annuity) and use to pay for life insurance. -All payout will be income-tax (and estate tax) free when received by the beneficiaries … but only if the kids are NOT the beneficiaries of the qualified plans!
61
18 Roll-Under … How Does It Work? Bob currently has his 3 children listed as beneficiary of his $1.5 million in the Q-Plans Bob – age 70 – qualifies for a $1.5 million life policy ($42,000 annual premium). (ILIT owns, pays and beneficiary) Bob “rolls” all his Qualified money into an annuity and takes @$65,000 annually (taxable = @ $42,000 after-tax) Bob name s his favorite charity the beneficiary of his Qualified Annuity
62
18 Roll-Under … How Does It Work? Upon Bob’s death … the charity receives the remainder value of his annuity and his estate receives a tax deduction on his last tax return. The kids receive NONE of the Q-Plan proceeds nor do they have any tax liability on these proceeds. Upon Bob’s death … the ILIT receives the $1.5 free of any tax. Upon Bob’s death … each child receives – from the ILIT – $500,000 free of any tax.
