Inherited IRA Rules
When someone inherits an IRA, one of the first questions is: “Can I just leave it alone and let it keep growing?” The rules changed under the SECURE Act. Many inherited IRAs must now be distributed within 10 years, and depending on the situation, annual withdrawals may also apply. That can create unexpected tax consequences if withdrawals aren’t planned carefully. Waiting until year 10 to withdraw everything can sometimes lead to a large tax bill depending on your circumstances. If you or someone in your family inherits a retirement account, understanding these rules can make a big difference. 🎥 Watch the video for a brief explanation below.

Roth vs. Pre-Tax 401(k): Understanding the Difference
People are making a tax decision in their 401(k) every single paycheck… and many don’t even realize it.The choice between Roth and pre-tax contributions can impact taxes, retirement income, and long-term flexibility over time.For some individuals, Roth contributions may make sense earlier in their career, while pre-tax contributions may become more valuable during higher earning years. In many cases, having a mix of both can create flexibility later on.One thing many people don’t realize is that most 401(k) plans automatically default to pre-tax contributions. So unless you’ve reviewed your elections, there’s a good chance that’s what you’re currently using.🎥 Watch the video for a brief explanation below.
