After implementation of the SECURE Act which altered the rules for Stretch IRAs, EquiTrust temporarily suspended accepting Inherited/Stretch IRA business for owner deaths occurring after 1/1/20.

 

Effective immediately, you may now submit new applications for Inherited/Stretch IRAs! See below for details, sales resources and guidance to support your sales.

 

Key Points

  • If the IRA owner dies on or after 1/1/20, the new SECURE Act rules apply.
  • Applicable beneficiaries now fall under two categories: Eligible and Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries.
  • Stretch IRA is available only to Eligible Designated Beneficiaries.
  • Inherited IRA is available to Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries – withdrawal or taxation of funds by 12/31 of the 10th year following the IRA owner’s death now applies to Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries. 

Learn the Rules

Before engaging in any Inherited or Stretch IRA business, be sure to read “Inherited/Stretch IRA Rules” for detailed information. This piece may be shared with your clients.
