The Fresh Interpretation of IRA

In this week's Hidden Wealth Reviews, I share a new meaning for the acronym, IRA, "Influenced Retirement Attack!" This comes from an Article in Forbes, which discusses how even new born babies could get hit with taxes from an IRA as a result of new IRS "guidance." This guidance is more like an attack; an attack influenced by the administration's need to collect more tax by having the IRS simply change the rules. In 2019, the SECURE Act changed the rules about stretching IRAs.
