Questions to Get Us Warmed Up 8-3

Qualified Retirement Plan Distributions 8-5 General distribution types available at retirement or separation from service lump-sum distribution rollover annuity Pre-retirement access to qualified plan funds in-service withdrawal hardship withdrawal (from 401(k) and 403(b) plans only) loan Distribution requirements and penalties premature distribution—10% penalty minimum distribution requirement—50% penalty requirements following death

One-Time Suspension on Required Minimum Distributions from Certain Plans for 2009 Only Effective for 2009 only, the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 imposed a moratorium (suspension) on required minimum distributions (RMDs) from individual retirement plans (IRAs) and defined contribution plans for 2009 only. This relief applied to life-time plan distributions to defined contribution plan participants, IRA owners, and after-death distributions to beneficiaries. It did not apply to pre-2009 and post- 2009 RMDs and defined benefit plans. 8-6

In-Service Withdrawals From Qualified Plans Withdrawals Prior to Plan’s Normal Retirement Age permitted in profit sharing/stock bonus and thrift/ savings plans permitted in pension plans once employee attains age 62 plan may impose restrictions but is not required to do so Withdrawals After Plan’s Normal Retirement Age typically available in money purchase and target benefit plans (defined contribution pension plans) generally not available in defined benefit plans due to complexity of record keeping 8-7

In-Service Withdrawals From Qualified Plans Amounts Available for Withdrawal per plan provisions usually vested portion of employer contributions Tax Treatment of In-Service Withdrawals 10% early withdrawal penalty (if under age 59½) ordinary income tax treatment 8-8

In-Service Hardship Withdrawals from Profit Sharing or Stock Bonus 401(k) Plans Amounts Available for In-Service 401(k) Hardship Withdrawals limited to funds attributable to elective deferrals—no earnings Tax Treatment of Hardship Withdrawals 10% early withdrawal penalty (if under age 59½) ordinary income tax treatment 8-9

In-Service Hardship Withdrawals from Profit Sharing or Stock Bonus 401(k) Plans Required Conditions for Hardship Withdrawal Participant must establish that: other resources are not “reasonably available,” (i.e., have exhausted other reasonably available resources) and there is an “immediate and heavy financial need”: o medical expenses o primary residence purchase o college tuition o housing costs to prevent eviction or foreclosure o funeral expenses for dependents o principal residence repairs that qualify for a casualty deduction 8-10

Qualified Plan Loans: General Rules 8-11 Loan from qualified planTerms, amount, availability of loanParticipant

Qualified Plan Loans: Terms Must be: available to all participants and beneficiaries on an equal basis evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement at a reasonable rate of interest secured by a participant’s vested account balance (or other collateral) made in accordance with plan provisions Must not be: available in greater proportions to highly compensated employees than to nonhighly compensated employees a loan with a term exceeding five years (except for purchase of primary residence) Repayments must be made at least quarterly on a substantially equal level amortization basis 8-12

Qualified Plan Loans: Amounts 8-13 Vested Account BalanceMaximum Loan Amount $10,000 or lessEntire vested account balance* $10,001 to $20,000$10,000* $20,001 to $100,00050% of vested account Over $100,000$50,000 *Additional collateral would be required if the loan exceeds 50% of the vested account balance. Most plans therefore limit loans to 50% of the vested amount

Qualified Plan Loans To avoid characterization as a prohibited transaction, a loan from a qualified plan must be: available to all participants and beneficiaries not available to highly compensated employees in greater proportions than to nonhighly compensated employees made in accordance with plan provisions at a reasonable rate of interest adequately secured legally enforceable 8-14

Qualified Plan Loans To avoid characterization as a taxable distribution: loan term must not exceed five years (except home loans) loan amount must not exceed o the lesser of $50,000 or o half of the present value of the employee’s nonforfeitable accrued benefit or other applicable limit loan repayments must be made quarterly on a level amortization basis 8-15

Required Qualified Plan Survivor Annuities Provisions Required for Pensions, optional for PSPs Annuity provides income for the life of a qualified plan participant and for the life of his or her surviving spouse o QJSA must provide survivor annuity for life of spouse, with at least 50% of annuity payable during joint lives. o QPSA must provide 50% survivor annuity for life of spouse, payable at participant’s death before retirement. The right to a QJSA can be waived: o in writing by the spouse, or o if participant and spouse were married less than one year, or o if plan provides for full payment to surviving spouse at participant’s death. 8-16

Required Qualified Plan Survivor Annuities Qualified Plans Subject to Survivor Annuity Requirements Defined benefit plans, target benefit plans, and money purchase pension plans (qualified plans that are subject to minimum funding standards) must comply with the QJSA, QOSA, and QPSA requirements. Other defined contribution plans (profit sharing, stock bonus plans) are exempt from the requirement if three conditions are met: 1.vested accrued benefit is payable to spouse or alternate beneficiary at death or participant, 2.participant does not elect annuity form of payment, and 3.plan is not a transferee of a plan that was subject to survivor annuity requirements. 8-17

Qualified Plan Payout Options The life annuity and joint and survivor annuity are just two of many payout options generally available. Another, the period certain annuity, provides regular monthly payments over a specified period, even if the recipient (and spouse) happens to die during the specified period. This ensures payments to a named beneficiary. Example Peter and his wife, Charlotte, have chosen a 20-year period-certain annuity option for Peter’s retirement benefits. His plan administrator has told them that, given Peter’s benefit level and the interest assumption of the annuity, this option will provide payments of $1,800 each month for 20 years. 8-18

Qualified Optional Survivor Annuity (QOSA) Married participants in a pension plan must be permitted to elect payment in the form of a QOSA benefit. A QOSA is an annuity for the life of the participant with a survivor Annuity for the life of the spouse determined as follows: If the survivor annuity provided by the plan’s QJSA is less than 75% of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the participant and spouse, then the survivor annuity provided by the QOSA must be 75% of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the participant and spouse. If the survivor annuity provided by the plan’s QJSA is equal to or greater than 75% of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the participant and spouse, then the survivor annuity provided by the QOSA must be 50% of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the participant and spouse. 8-19

Lump-Sum Distributions Required Conditions Represents full amount credited to participant accounts Distributed in one taxable year Payable due to participant’s death, attainment of age 59½, or separation from service (common law employees only); or payable due to participant’s death, attainment of age 59½, or disability (self-employed’s option in place of separation from service) Made from a qualified pension, profit sharing, or stock bonus plan and all plans of the same type 8-20

Tax Treatment of Stock Distributions Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) A distribution of shares of employer stock that qualify for NUA treatment (in lieu of rollover treatment) are subject to the following tax treatment: The recipient is immediately taxed on the cost, or basis, of the securities received, and at ordinary income tax rates. The NUA is not taxed until the recipient actually sells the shares. When these shares are sold, the NUA is taxed as long-term capital gain. 8-21

Rollover Distributions “Eligible rollover distributions” are distributions of all or any part of a qualified plan account, except: Nontaxable portion of distribution Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over 10 years or relevant life expectancy Required minimum distribution (age 70½) Corrective distributions from a 401(k) plan Loan treated as a distribution Dividends on employer securities in an ESOP Cost of life insurance coverage Hardship distribution 8-23 Qualified plan to another QP, IRA, SEP, TSA, or governmental 457 plan These plans are eligible to make and receive rollovers from any of these same plans Qualified plan to conduit IRA to qualified plan To preserve 10-year forward averaging Rollover must be completed within 60 days Time period for completion of rollover

pretax & after-tax assets Rollover Rules 8-24 Traditional IRA SIMPLE IRA 403(b) Plans Gov’t 457(b) Plans 403(a) Plans QRPs 401(a) (after 2 years of participation) pretax assets

Tax Treatment of Rollover Distributions Rollovers enable funds to maintain tax-deferred growth. Funds rolled over become subject to tax treatment of the rollover vehicle (e.g., qualified funds rolled into a deductible IRA are subject to ordinary income tax, not forward averaging). A “conduit” IRA can preserve eligibility for forward-averaging tax treatment from another qualified plan. The 20% mandatory withholding requirement applies to “eligible rollover distributions” from qualified plans and TSAs if distribution is not a direct rollover. 8-25

Six Types of Rollovers (or Transfers) 1. Conduit IRA 2. Direct rollover (also known as a direct transfer of eligible rollover distributions) 3. Trustee-to-trustee transfer 4. Indirect rollover 5. Spousal beneficiary rollover 6. Nonspouse beneficiary rollover 8-26

Conversions & Rollovers to a Roth IRA A Roth IRA may accept rollover assets from other retirement arrangements if the source of the rollover assets consists of a rollover from: a qualified plan 403(b) arrangement Section 457 government plan traditional IRA Roth 401(k) account Roth 403(b) account another Roth IRA Note: for this purpose, there is no ceiling on a retirement arrangement owner’s (or that of the owner who files jointly) adjusted gross income. 8-27

Lump-Sum Distribution Four Conditions Required for Distribution to be Considered a Lump Sum Represents full amount credited to participant’s account (or benefit) from all qualified plans of the same type Distributed in one taxable year Payable due to participant’s death, attainment of age 59½, or separation from service (common law employees only); or payable due to participant’s death, attainment of age 59½, or disability (self-employed’s option in place of separation from service) Made from qualified pension, profit sharing, or stock bonus plan Four Options for Treatment of Lump-Sum Distribution Taxation: ordinary income rates Taxation: forward-averaging method, if available; special treatment available if age 50 before 1/1/86 (born before 1936) Deferral: roll the distribution over, deferring tax liability until a future date Net unrealized appreciation treatment for distributions of employer stock 8-28

Ten-Year, Forward-Averaging Tax Treatment Advantages: Taxable amount is subject to possibly lower tax rate (tax is calculated on 1/10 of taxable amount, using 1986 tax tables, then multiplied by 10 to determine total tax). 8-30 Distribution must be a “lump sum.” Forward-averaging treatment must be elected on all lump- sum distributions in tax year. Individual must have been a plan participant for at least five tax years (this requirement is waived if distribution is due at death). Only one forward-averaging election allowed in lifetime. Eligibility Must have been born before January 1, 1936 Use 10-year averaging on ordinary income portion. Treat pre-1974 portion of gain as long-term capital gain, taxed at 20%. Participants

Qualified Plan Annuity or Periodic Payment Distribution Taxed under annuity rules (IRC §72) at ordinary rates— exclusion ratio applied to each payment to determine excludible amount: Also, basis recovery tables of SBJPA 96 + TRA 97 Available in accordance with plan provisions Lifetime survivor benefits must be provided by qualified plans subject to minimum funding standards (e.g., defined benefit, money purchase, target benefit). *A participant’s “investment in the contract” (basis) includes after-tax contributions, Table 2001 costs, and loans that were treated as taxable distributions 8-31.

Calculating Nontaxable Portion of Installment Distributions Single Life Use the method in the following example if payments are for one life such as a single life annuity; payments are from a qualified employee plan, a qualified employee annuity, or tax-sheltered annuity; and at the time payments began, individual was either under age 75 or entitled to fewer than five years of guaranteed payments. Divide cost basis by anticipated payments based on the schedule below. Example Ron is age 67, retiring this year, and is entitled to receive his retirement benefits in the form of a single life annuity payable monthly. He has a cost basis in the annuity of $28,000. The nontaxable portion of the payments received by Ron will be $133 ($28,000/210). Note: Once he has received 210 monthly payments, the rest are fully taxable. 8-32 Age Number of Monthly Payments 55 and under360 56 to 60310 61 to 65260 66 to 70210 71 and over 160

Calculating Nontaxable Portion of Installment Distributions Joint Lives When there is more than one annuitant, such as a joint and survivor annuity payable monthly over the lives of a husband and wife: 8-33 Combined Age of Annuitants Number of Monthly Payments 110 and under410 111 to 120360 121 to 130310 131 to 140260 141 and over210

Premature Distributions from Qualified Plans & Exceptions to the 10% Penalty Penalty does not apply to a qualified plan distribution that is: attributable to death or permanent disability part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over a qualified plan participant’s life expectancy following separation from service used for medical care up to amount deductible on participant’s inc. tax return (amounts over 7.5% of AGI) made to reduce excess plan contributions/deferrals – corrective distributions of excess contributions from IRAs are permitted The following exceptions are for qualified plans only – not IRAs: made following separation from service after age 55 paid in accordance with a QDRO a dividend paid by employer stock held by an ESO 8-34 Qualified retirement plan distributions received before age 59½ are premature distributions. Definition Subject to 10% early withdrawal penalty tax in addition to income tax. Penalty

Premature Distributions from IRAs & Exceptions to the 10% Penalty Penalty does not apply to an IRA distribution that is: attributable to death or permanent disability part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments over an IRA owner’s life expectancy used for medical care up to the amount deductible on the participant’s tax return (amounts over 7.5% of AGI) corrective distributions of excess contributions (corrective distributions of excess plan contributions/deferrals applies to qualified plans) Exceptions for IRAs only – not qualified plans used for first-time homebuyer expenses ($10,000 lifetime cap) used for qualified higher education expenses (tuition, fees, books, supplies required for attendance) used to pay health insurance premiums for qualifying unemployed individuals 8-35 IRA distributions received before age 59½ are premature distributions Definition Subject to 10% early withdrawal penalty tax in addition to income tax Penalty

Exceptions to the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty: Summary Type of PlanException to Penalty Qualified plans & IRAs Substantially equal payments from an IRA or following separation from service Death or disability Medical expenses over 7.5% of AGI Corrective distributions of excess qualified plan contributions and/or deferrals -- corrective distributions of excess IRA contributions Qualified plans only Separation from service after age 55 ESOP only Dividend paid by employer stock held by an ESOP Qualified plans only Qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) IRAs only First-time home purchase Health insurance premiums while unemployed Higher education expenses 8-36

Series of Substantially Equal Periodic Payment (SOSEPP) Exceptions to the Premature Distribution Penalty These methods qualify: Required minimum distribution method Fixed amortization method Fixed annuitization method 8-37

SOSEPP Exception Required Min. Distribution Method The annual payment for each year is determined by dividing the account balance for that year by the number from the chosen life expectancy table for that year. The account balance, the number from the chosen life expectancy table (representing the years of remaining life expectancy), and the resulting annual payments are recalculated for each year. Example Mr. Smith is age 50 this year and single. His SOSEPP RMD for this year is $14,260. $500,000 IRA account balance divided by 34.2, his life expectancy (Single Life Table) 8-38

SOSEPP Exception Fixed Amortization Method The annual payment for each year is determined by amortizing in level amounts the account balance over a specified number of years determined by using an IRS approved life expectancy table and interest rate. The account balance, life expectancy, interest rate, and resulting annual payment are determined once for the first distribution year and the annual payment is the same amount in each succeeding year. Example Mr. Smith, age 50, is single and has given the following information for purposes of calculating his SOSEPP payments under the fixed amortization method: His IRA account balance is $500,000. His life expectancy is 34.2 per the Single Life Table. 5.7% is a reasonable rate of interest per IRS requirements. PV = $500,000; N = 34.2; I = 5.7. Solving for PMT = $33,537 8-39

SOSEPP Exception Fixed Annuitization Method Each year’s annual SOSEPP payment is determined by dividing the account balance by an annuity factor that is the present value of an annuity of $1 per year beginning at the taxpayer's age and continuing for the life of the taxpayer (or the joint lives of the individual and beneficiary). The annuity factor is calculated by an actuary using an IRS approved mortality table and interest rate. Under this method, the account balance, the annuity factor, the chosen interest rate, and the resulting annual payment are determined once for the first distribution year and the annual payment is the same amount in each succeeding year. Example Mr. Smith, age 50, is a single individual. You have been given the following information for purposes of calculating his SOSEPP payments under the fixed annuitization method: his IRA account balance is $500,000, and the annuity factor for an individual age 50 is 15.1819 according to an actuary who using an IRS approved mortality table and interest rate. Dividing his $500,000 account balance by 15.1819 results in a series of fixed annual payments of $32,934 each. 8-40

Qualified Plan & IRA 2008 and Post-2009 Distribution Requirements Aggregation Rules IRS rules allow a certain amount of aggregation for purposes of the RMD rules. Each IRA’s RMD must be calculated separately. Total required minimum distribution can be taken from any one or all of these IRAs. Every other type of plan, however, must individually make an RMD. Example Frank has three IRAs and participates in his company’s profit sharing plan. After figuring the RMD for each of the IRAs, he can take a distribution from one, two, or all three—as long as it matches or exceeds the RMD for his three IRAs. Frank must also take an RMD from his profit sharing plan. He cannot aggregate this plan with his IRAs when he makes the RMD calculation. 8-41

Tax Treatment of Qualified Roth IRA Distributions Distributions from a Roth IRA are either qualified or nonqualified. A distribution is qualified if it meets the five-year holding requirement (beginning with the first year for which a Roth contribution is made) and if it is made for any one of the following reasons: after the owner’s attainment of age 59½, death of the owner, owner’s disability, or to an owner for a special purpose (meaning a first-time home purchase (maximum distribution of $10,000). 8-42

Tax Treatment of Nonqualified Roth IRA Distributions The tax treatment of nonqualified distributions from a Roth IRA is determined by the ordering rules, which treat all amounts distributed as a distribution of after-tax contributions first and then as a distribution of earnings. Therefore, no portion of a distribution is treated as ordinary income (taxable income) until the total of all prior distributions (after-tax contributions) exceeds the total of all prior contributions. Unless an exception applies, an earnings distribution to an under age 59½ Roth IRA owner is subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. 8-43

Tax Treatment of Nonqualified Roth IRA Distributions Example For the past 10 years, Jonathan Meiklehorn, age 32, contributed $2,000 each year to a Roth IRA. During the current year, he withdrew his entire account balance of $34,000 to buy a car. His account meets the five-year holding requirement, but he is not age 59½, deceased, or disabled, nor is he using the money to buy his first home. Therefore, the distribution is not qualified: He has contributed $20,000, and this amount comes out first and is not taxable. The remaining $14,000 of the distribution is taxable and is subject to the 10% penalty. The portion of the distribution that is not taxed is not subject to the penalty. 8-44

Tax Treatment of Roth IRA Distributions: Summary Facts & circumstances: distribution taken …Classification Tax treatment of distribution of annual contributions Tax treatment of distribution of earnings after five years of Roth IRA establishment by age 59 ½ individual, or for death, disability, or special purpose Qualified Not subject to income tax or penalty Not subject to income tax or 10% penalty after five years of Roth IRA establishment by individual under age 59½ Nonqualified Not subject to income tax or penalty Subject to income tax; also, subject to 10% penalty unless exception applies taken within five years of Roth IRA establishment by individual under age 59½ NonqualifiedNot subject to income tax or penalty Subject to income tax; also, subject to 10% penalty unless exception applies 8-45

Qualified Plan Distribution Requirements Commencement of Distributions Qualified plan must provide for retirement benefit distributions to begin within 60 days after the plan year-end in which the latest of the following occurs: o participant reaches age 65 (or normal retirement age specified in the plan, if earlier) o participant has 10 years of plan participation o participant terminates service with the employer Employee may elect other forms of distribution 8-47

Qualified Defined Contribution Plan & IRA Distribution Requirements Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) Qualified Plans: Required beginning date (RBD) for qualified plan distributions must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which: o employee attains age 70½, or o employee retires. IRA Plans and greater than 5% business owner-participants: Required beginning date (RBD) for IRA distributions must begin by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which: o the individual attains age 70½ o whether working or not 8-48

IRA Distribution Requirements Required Beginning Date Distributions must be made over the Uniform Table life expectancy of the participant or the Joint and Last Survivor Table life expectancies (see IRC Sec. 401(a)(9) regulations) of the participant and the participant’s spouse if the spouse is at least 10 years younger. Penalty Penalty for receiving less than the required minimum distribution is 50% of the difference between the amount that was distributed and the amount that should have been distributed. 8-49

Qualified DC Plan & IRA Distribution Requirements Following Participant’s Death Benefits remaining in the qualified plan must be distributed over the (RMD Single Life Table) life expectancy of the beneficiary beginning by December 31 st of the year following the year of the participant’s death Spouse beneficiary may roll over qualified plan account to his/her own IRA If RMDs Have Begun Generally, entire benefit (account balance) must be distributed by: 1) the end of the fifth year after participant’s death if there is no “designated beneficiary,” or 2) over the beneficiary’s life expectancy (RMD Single Life Table), beginning by December 31 of the year following the participant’s death. If spouse is the beneficiary: 1) may roll over account to an IRA, or 2) can elect to begin distributions by December 31 of the year in which owner would have attained age 70½ If RMDs Have Not Begun 8-50

Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) A QDRO is a court order issued in conjunction with a divorce proceeding in which all or part of a participant’s qualified plan benefits may be made payable to the participant’s spouse, former spouse, or dependents as alimony, marital property rights, or child support. (QDRO rules do not apply to IRAs.) Benefits paid under a QDRO to the plan participant's child or dependent are treated as paid to the participant; hence, they are taxable to the participant. Benefits paid to a spouse or former spouse may be rolled over into a traditional individual retirement arrangement or another qualified retirement plan. Benefits that are not rolled over must be included in the spouse's or former spouse's income but are not subject to the 10% early distribution penalty. 8-51

Investments for Lump-Sum Distributions Identifying Appropriate Financial Advisors There are different “roofs” (financial advisors, trustees, custodians, and financial institutions) under which retirement plan lump-sum distributions can be placed and effectively managed. These roofs include: banks, brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment companies (mutual funds), and private money managers. 8-53

Investments for Lump-Sum Distributions Identifying Appropriate Financial Advisors Many of the products and services appropriate for retirees are available from all or several of these vendors. As a result, differences between financial service vendors are often blurred. However, the decision about which roof (or roofs) should be governed by the client’s investment strategy and, in some cases, by distribution decisions already made. 8-54

Investments for Lump-Sum Distributions Identifying Appropriate Financial Advisors A shrewd and experienced stock market investor who does most of her own research and is good at investing may be interested in a self-directed IRA offered by a large discount broker. A very wealthy client may seek the services of a someone who can develop and manage an individually crafted portfolio such as a private money manager or possibly a bank trust department or large broker- dealer. An individual with little experience or interest in investments who needs a higher investment return to maintain her standard of living should consider hiring a retirement counselor. 8-55

Investments for Lump-Sum Distributions Identifying Appropriate Financial Advisors A retired executive of a major corporation who has an exceptionally large and complicated estate may need to get expert advice in three areas: distribution options, money management, and estate planning. An individual who is more interested in safety rather than higher returns and is concerned about outliving his retirement assets may be interested in consulting with an insurance company about an annuity. 8-56

Question 1 Clark Benson, age 65, is a 3% owner and an employee of Oak Enterprises, Inc. He has accumulated $250,000 in Oak Enterprises’ profit sharing 401(k) plan during his 22 years of employment; to date, he has taken no distributions from the plan.

Question 4 Taxes may be deferred on a qualified plan distribution if it is rolled over to an IRA, TSA, SEP, governmental 457 plan, or to another qualified plan. All are true regarding rollovers except a. they generally result in less money for retirement. b. distributions must be transferred to a new account no later than 60 days after receipt. c. noncash property must be transferred to the new account. d. funds rolled over may lose the potential to use forward averaging. 8-60

Question 5 Which of the following is not a requirement for ten-year forward averaging treatment? a. the participant must have attained age 50 by January 1, 1986 b. forward averaging must be elected for all lump- sum distributions received during the year c. the employee must have been a participant in the plan for at least eight years d. the participant must be married 8-61
