Investing for retirement is a critical aspect of financial planning, and individuals have diverse options to grow their funds.

Promissory notes, also known as loan agreements or IOUs, are a commonly overlooked investment opportunity. They represent a legally binding agr

Proposed Change in Inherited IRA Distribution Rules by IRS

The passing of the 2019 Secure Act changed the rules about when non-spouse beneficiaries must begin taking money from inherited retirement accounts. Starting in 2020, instead of stretching withdrawals over your lifetime, most investors inheriting an IRA from a parent were subject to a new "10 year rule." This meant annual required minimum distributions (RMDs) were out. Instead, beneficiaries had to take the money - in full - in 10 years. In early 2022, the IRS proposed new changes, and if enacted, some inherited IRA beneficiaries will need to take RMDs again and could face big penalties. Unless a non-spouse beneficiary qualifies for an exception¹, previous guidance stipulated that funds from an inherited 401(k), IRA, 403(b), or other qualified retirement plan (including Roth IRAs) must be taken in 10 years following the year of death. Original guidance indicated disbursements within this 10-year window were optional. Now, proposed regulations from the IRS further co

Exploring US Retirement Account Contributions for Employees Working Offshore

[ Offshore Tax ] Let's talk about US retirement account contributions while working abroad The IRA distribution rules for U.S. citizens living abroad are the same as those for citizens residing stateside. Whether you can contribute to your regular or Roth IRA while living abroad depends on your foreign income and the exclusions and deductions you claim, namely the foreign earned income exclusion (FEIE) or foreign housing exclusion. To contribute to an IRA while living abroad, you must have income left over after deductions and exclusions. If you exclude all of your income with the FEIE and have no other sources of earned income, you are not eligible to contribute to an IRA. However, if you only exclude part of your income or claim the foreign tax credit (FTC) instead, you may still be able to contribute to an IRA.
