On December 29th, President Biden signed the Securing a Strong Retirement Act (Secure Act 2.0) into law as part of a $1.7 trillion budget bill. It includes a number of significant changes for qualified plan contributions and distributions opportunities for financial planning. A few key points of the bill are highlighted below and you can CLICK HERE for a 4-page summary of the Act and two resulting insurance opportunities!
5 key takeaways:
• The age to start taking Required Minimum Distributions “RMDs” increases to age 73 in 2023 and to 75 in 2033.
• The penalty for failing to take an RMD will decrease to 25% of the RMD amount, from 50% currently, and 10% if corrected in a timely manner for IRAs.
• Starting in 2024, RMDs will no longer be required from Roth accounts in employer retirement plans.
• Catch-up contributions will increase in 2025 for 401(k), 403(b), governmental plans, and IRA account holders.
• Defined contribution retirement plans will be able to add an emergency savings account associated with a Roth account.
