Changes are coming

Let’s face it, most people don’t like change. The financial sector by and large doesn’t like change either - change is unpredictable and risky. Nevertheless, changes are coming to the United States Tax Code and it will likely be here before the end of the year. Should you fear the changes? Could the changes actually help? Last month, House Democrats proposed a slew of changes to retirement accounts for the wealthy on Monday, part of a restructuring of the tax code tied to a $3.5 trillion budget plan. Here is a brief list highlighting some of the changes they are considering in Washington. 

  • Limits on High Income Earner Contributions to IRAs

  • Increase in Required Minimum Distributions with Large Account & High-Income Earners

  • Roth Conversion Limitations for High-Income earners

  • End of “Back-Door Roth” Conversions

If all these changes have you panicking, take a breath or two. First, you need to know that none of these changes are law yet so you have some time. Don’t let fear freeze you in your tracks, start planning! If you are looking for a good place to start, take a look around. There are a ton of resources here at your fingertips!
