You pay taxes now and may enjoy tax-free income later, provided you hold the Roth IRA for at least five years and don’t take distributions before reaching age 59½. If you do not meet the five years and attaining age 59½ requirements and need to take a distribution, you may owe income tax on earnings, and a 10% federal tax penalty may apply to the earnings and prior converted amounts. Similar to the traditional IRA, there are exceptions to the 10% federal tax penalty for withdrawals and the 59½ age requirement, such as first-time home purchase, death, disability, certain qualifying medical expenses, health insurance premiums, or higher-education expenses. 2 A distribution from a Roth IRA generally is income tax-free if (a) it meets all the requirements for a qualified distribution (which include a 5-year waiting period and one of several additional requirements, one being that the distribution is made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the individual), or (b) it is a nonqualified distribution to the extent of after tax distributions (basis). 3 A Certificate of Deposit (CD) is FDIC insured. 4Mutual funds may be subject to income tax and/or capital gains taxation. Consult your tax advisor for more information. 5Generally, interest paid on municipal bonds is tax-free, but not all municipal bonds are exempt from federal and/or state income tax. Some bonds may be subject to capital gains tax at sale. Consult your tax advisor for more information. 6 Upon distribution, when a contract annuitizes, a portion of principal is included in the annuity payout. The principal portion is not subject to tax. 7There is not a specific limit on dollars allocated to purchase life insurance; however, there are maximum premium limits determined by a specified policy face amount. A policy will qualify as life insurance if it meets the requirements of IRC Sec. 7702, which includes limits on the amount of premium that may be paid into a specific face amount and still qualify as life insurance. 8Tax-free income assumes, among other things: (1) withdrawals do not exceed tax basis (generally, premiums paid less prior withdrawals); (2) policy remains in force until death; (3) withdrawals taken during the first 15 policy years do not occur at the time of, or during the two years prior to, any reduction in benefits; and (4) the policy does not become a modified endowment contract. See IRC Sections 7702(f)(7)(B), 7702A. Any policy withdrawals, loans and loan interest will reduce policy values and may reduce benefits. 9For federal income tax purposes, life insurance death benefits generally pay income tax-free to beneficiaries pursuant to IRC Section 101(a)(1). In certain situations, however, life insurance death benefits may be partially or wholly taxable. Situations include, but are not limited to: the transfer of a life insurance policy for valuable consideration unless the transfer qualifies for an exception under IRC Section 101(a)(2) (i.e. the “transfer-for- value rule”); arrangements that lack an insurable interest based on state law; and an employer-owned policy unless the policy qualifies for an exception under IRC Section 101(j ). 11 of 18 A Retirement Planning Plan to Consider… Life Insurance Retirement Plan (LIRP) Protection Now.
