Comprehensive Roth IRA Strategies Analysis 26-27 (2 hours)
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $99

There is a lot of buzz and rules of thumb about Roth strategies, but very little discussion on what the fiduciary-level analysis methodology should be. This course will provide insights on creating and evaluating an analysis and recommendations with targeted vetting questions. Rules of thumb can sometimes be detrimental, causing families to pay much more in taxes over their lifetimes than necessary. A very significant portion of the population is prevented from executing a straight-forward Roth Contribution due to the income restrictions. What was once a risky way to thwart that rule has now become accepted, and many clients can benefit. These contributions should typically take precedence to saving to a brokerage/taxable account, but there are some steps that need to be addressed to prevent unwanted taxation. In addition, you'll learn about the mega-backdoor Roth. SECURE 2.0 includes many new rules, and some of them address Roth IRA/401k. We'll cover these and how they can help your clients.

Surgent's Understanding How the IRS Rewards Whistleblowers (2 hours)
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $99
See more dates
In 2006, Congress passed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act. Prior to the Act's passage, rewards to individuals who provided information to the IRS regarding tax fraud were capped at $10 million. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act authorized the IRS to create a Whistleblower Office dedicated to investigating, processing and recovering claims concerning the underpayment of taxes. Under the IRS' new program, whistleblowers may recover 15 to 30 percent of the amount collected provided the taxes and amounts in dispute exceed $2 million. If the whistleblower's claim does not meet these criteria, the IRS may still consider granting an award under its pre-2006 Tax Relief Act discretionary authority. Given the rapid growth of this program, practitioners should have a basic understanding of the procedure and content for IRS Whistleblower claims, both from the perspective of a claimant's potential to recover and a taxpayer's exposure to liability.
