What's in this Special Report?
This 65-page Special Report is an expanded version of Chapter 7 of Natalie Choate’s book Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits (Ataxplan Publications, 6th ed. 2006). This Special Report contains everything you need to know about how to give retirement benefits to charity, including:
- The three reasons to leave retirement plan death benefits to charity
- The seven different methods that can be used to leave benefits to charity, with the pros, cons and pitfalls of each, so you will know how to implement your client’s charitable wishes, whether by naming the charity directly as sole or partial beneficiary, leaving benefits to a trust to be paid to charity, etc.
- Minimum distribution issues that arise when retirement benefits are left to a trust that has both charitable and human beneficiaries, and how to resolve those issues (in the planning stage or in the post-mortem stage).
- The special income tax rules that apply when retirement benefits are paid to charity through a trust or estate; the five tests to determine whether a trust can get an income tax charitable deduction; and how to bypass problems by transferring benefits to the charity. The Special Report covers this topic in much more detail than is provided in Chapter 7 of Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits.
- How to accomplish charitable goals AND solve other estate planning problems at the same time by leaving retirement benefits to a charitable remainder trust.
- Which of the seven different types of charitable or semi-charity entities (public charities, private foundations, donor-advised funds, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, and pooled income funds) are—or are not—suitable to be named as beneficiary of a retirement plan.
- The problems that complicate lifetime giving of retirement benefits, with a look at the (possibly to be allowed someday?) “charitable IRA rollover.”
No other source explains these rules in such detail and in such an understandable way—with full citations so you can verify all statements.
