Course Description

This webinar will discuss how to divide an IRA income tax-free in a divorce under Section 408(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and the hidden issues often undiscussed around this process. The presenter will also cover the unique rules involved in dividing qualified plan benefits in a divorce, the tax ramifications to the participant, and the “alternate payee.” The session also covers the concept of a qualified domestic relations order and the conflicting rules for IRAs and qualified plans when a participant neglects to change a beneficiary after a divorce.
 
Learning objectives:

  • Discuss the requirements of Section 408(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code

  • Define the tax consequences to the ex-spouse when taking a distribution from the IRA

  • Recognize what a qualified domestic relations order is, who bears the income tax on distributions pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and how to avoid the 10% penalty on distributions before reaching age 59 ½
