CHARITABLE GIVING Made Easy Q: How do recent tax law changes affect how I manage my retirement funds? A: The SECURE Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act), signed into law in late 2019, expands the number of people who can participate in retirement plans, and it contains changes that affect distributions from retirement plans. Here are three important changes that may affect you. 1) The Act raised the age at which a person must start distributions from 70½ to 72. The new date applies to those who did not attain the age of 70½ by 2019. As a result of this change, retirement funds can now be invested on a taxdeferred basis for a longer time. 2) The Act allows contributions to be made to a regular IRA after the age of 70½ if a person is still working and has income. Previously, no additions to an IRA were permitted after reaching this age—though additions to an employer-
sponsored plan could be made until termination of employment, if permitted by the plan. 3) The Act, with certain exceptions, requires that retirement funds given to non-spousal beneficiaries must be fully distributed within ten years. Previously, retirement funds to those beneficiaries could be made over their entire lifetimes, which meant a longer period of tax deferral and likely a lower tax rate because distributions would be in smaller increments.
Distributions to a spouse can still be spread over his or her lifetime. This third change can be overcome by using a charitable gift annuity. For example, Jane, a widow, wants to name her daughter as beneficiary of her IRA and have payments made to her over her lifetime. Because her daughter is age 55 (the minimum age to establish an annuity at the UNM Foundation), Jane can arrange for an annuity to be established by her estate. When Jane passes away, her daughter will receive annuity payments for as long as she lives. After her lifetime, the remaining assets will be distributed to NMPBS.
