Kitces, MSFS, MTAX, CFP®, CLU, ChFC, RHU, REBC, CASL\n \nAbout the presentation: As the use of trusts in estate planning becomes increasingly popular for both tax and non-tax reasons, and clients continue to accumulate more and more assets in retirement accounts, the use of trusts as beneficiaries of IRAs is increasing desirable and necessary. Unfortunately, though, the rules pertaining to IRAs payable to a trust after death are complex and challenging. In this session, we will explore the unique requirements for IRAs to preserve and maximize their tax deferral after death when a trust is the beneficiary, with details about the rules for trusts to qualify for the IRA’s post-death tax deferral “stretch,” how to calculate the actual post-death required minimum distributions for the trust, and examples of specific wording from sample trusts.\n \nTo register for this session, go to [www.epcstlouis.org ](http://www.epcstlouis.org/)and click the link for the session.\n \nCPA's - CPE Credit Note: In order to be awarded the full credits, you must be responding to three out of the four polling questions asked during the program on ZOOM.\n \nContinuing Education\n \nEPCSTL has requested approval for continuing education in the following areas: CTFA, CLE, CPE, CFP, L&H Insurance   \n \nCPE Information for CPAs\n \nThe sponsor assures that the program content and program level is appropriate for the intended participants.\n \nParticipants will: \n \nLearning Objectives:\n \n·         Learning Objectives:\n \n- LO #1: Describe the post-death IRA distribution requirements and options based upon the type of designated (or non-designated) beneficiary.\n \n- LO #2: Identify the four requirements necessary for trusts to qualify as designated beneficiaries.\n \n \n \n- LO #3: Explain the tax consequences of trusts receiving RMDs, as well as when the trust distributes income to beneficiaries of the trust.\n \n \n \n- LO #4: Be able to determine the applicable distribution period for the RMDs.\n \n \n \n- LO #5: Compare and contrast the income treatment within conduit and accumulation trusts.\n \n \n \nThe sponsor assures that the program content and program level is appropriate for the intended participants.\n \nParticipants will earn 1 CPE credit. \n \nField of Study: Specialized Knowledge \n \nAdditional Information:\n \nDelivery Method: Group Live/Group Internet Based\n \nProgram Level: Basic\n \nPre-requisite: NONE \n \nHour 2 1:10 – 2:00 PM\n \n \n \nWho should attend: This presentation is aimed at lawyers, accountants, trust officers and other estate planning professionals with a background in estate planning topics.\n \nRefunds and Cancellations: All attendees are required to register in advance.  If you reserve and are unable to attend, please cancel your reservation at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting to receive a refund or a credit for a future meeting. For more information regarding refund, complaint, and/or program cancellation policies please contact our offices at 314-520-3564.\n \nEstate Planning Council of St. Louis is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.
