Overview

    The IRA/Pension Distribution Planner will save you time if you have clients who receive IRA or pension distribution.  This program can help your clients that receive distributions before they are 59˝ and after they are 70˝.  These situations can easily lead to penalties.

     This program will save you time if you have clients under 59˝ who already need their IRA funds.  Use this program to calculate the maximum distribution that will still avoid penalties.  Avoid the 10% early distribution penalty.

     Your clients over 70˝ with IRAs will be facing a 50% penalty if they don't withdraw the required minimum distribution (RMD) amount by December 31, or, for the year they turn 70˝, the subsequent April 1.  If you make the IRA distribution calculation, you can't afford not to have this program to limit the chances of a 50% penalty.  It has been our experience, when banks or other financial institutions make this calculation, that they
occasionally put your client in a penalty situation.  When you catch a financial institution making such a serious mistake, you become a hero to your client.

     Some of your clients may have made smaller distributions than desired because of the Excess Distribution Tax.  The Taxpayers' Relief Act of 1997 repeals the Excess Distribution and Excess Accumulation Taxes.  The Distribution Projection Report can help you plan for the future now that distributions are less taxing.

     Over 1,400 accounting firms use the IRA Distribution Planner.  This program can perform its calculation in seconds. Those firms believe in the program and so do we.  If you don't think the program has paid for itself in its very first use, you can send it back for a full refund.

     You can view or print an analysis for each IRA.  The program will work for all combinations of beneficiaries, including Minimum Distribution Incidental Benefit(MDIB) situations.  This program helps simplify 42 pages of Regs!  In fact, the help screens explain the law when you are entering inputs.
