Financial Planning Tip (s) –

12-31-19 Secure Act House Ways and Means

SECURE Act is Signed at the Finish Line of the Year

As mentioned here in our preview post, with a stroke of a pen on the Saturday before the Christmas week, the SECURE ACT (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement) – Wow that is a mouthful!

The Biggies:

  1. Age 72 RMD, up from the confusing 70.5
  2. Non-Spouse 10 Year Mandatory distributions of Inherited IRA – Mandating taxes by beneficiary

Tons of planning techniques and lots more to the law, but these again are the biggies!

Capital Market Comments –

FED Pauses and Markets Yawn… Finally

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) led by Jerome Powell and company, FINALLY were able to not lower rates and market participants accepted it… Shhh, lets keep it our secret..haha

12-16-19 Fed Funds Rate

 

Happy 2020!

Have a Great Day – Talk to you at the end of January!
