Sales Week: EquiTrust makes systematic Partial Tax Conversion flexible and easy!

CONVERTING FROM
TRADITIONAL TO ROTH IRA

EquiTrust makes it easy

If you’re like many agents, your clients may be asking you about Roth IRAs, and potentially converting over from another vehicle.

Good news — we make it easy. Partial Tax Conversion (PTC) is available on any Qualified, inforce EquiTrust deferred annuity. With a PTC, your clients with an EquiTrust Traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA can transfer money over time into a Roth IRA contract.

What are the advantages of systematically transferring money to a Roth IRA?

Your client has more control over when they pay taxes — they have the option to spread taxes out over a period of time rather than having to pay them all at once.
Your client determines when and how much to convert (one PTC allowed per contract year).
Paying taxes now on partial conversion amounts while your client may be in a lower tax bracket may offer tax advantages.

Why transfer to a Roth IRA?

Potential for tax-free growth
Tax-free distributions after age 59½¹
No Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
Nontaxable income for beneficiaries²

Plus! We’ll do tax withholding at the time of conversion, generating the 1099R for your client.

How does the conversion of the original contract work?

The new contract mirrors the original contract, except for the tax qualification, with the same:

Effective date
Client roles
Agent
Account allocations
Credited rates
Riders
