Timothy Adams, owner of a law firm, has two retirement assets of a 401(k) required from Target and a Traditional IRA currently with Fidelity. He was advised approximately 5 years ago to transfer the 401 (k) for Target to a Traditional IRA. He also has a 401 (k) from Duey Cheadham that he would like moved to a Traditional IRA. He was attending law school while at working at Target, but does not practice tax law. ISSUE: What accounts is Mr. Adams able to transfer for this fiscal year? According to US Tax Court ruling Bobrow v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. (2014-2), there will only be one individual retirement plan rollover contribution for a full fiscal year. When would Mr. Adams be qualified to rollover his retirement accounts? The tax court ruling (Bobrow v. Commissioner, 2014-2) state that as of January 1, 2015, one IRA rollover may be made with the 60 …show more content…
day period. APPLICABLE LAW The applicable Law most related to the issue for Timothy Adams is the court ruling of Bobrow v.
Commissioner and IRC Section 408(c) (d)). These laws mainly enforce that there may be only one rollover for an IRA within a 1-year period. The Revenue ruling 78-407, 1978-2 C.B. 157 states that you may make a direct transfer from one IRA trustee to another, but this is not considered a rollover. ANALYSES: Before the tax ruling for the rollover IRA accounts per year, Mr. Adams could have used the 60-day rollover ruling for his IRA transfers. This does include the transfer of a 401(k) account in Mr. Adams’ case. With the new rollover ruling, Mr. Adams does not need to include his gross income for any amount that would be distributed to another eligible plan within 60 days (IRC Section 408(d)). There would be a tax consequence if Mr. Adams attempted to rollover both of the 401(k) accounts within the one year period. These tax consequences would lead to an early withdrawal tax penalty, treated as an excess contribution, and a tax of 6% per year as long as they remain in the IRA (IRC
408(d)(3). CONCLUSION: Though it would be beneficial for Mr. Adams to make multiple rollovers for the IRA accounts, the recent court ruling has prevented this from happening. He may rollover both of the accounts in a 24 month period. He cannot make a rollover due to the court ruling stating that you cannot make a non-taxable rollover from one to the other within the 12 month period (Bobrow v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2014-21). The tax court ruling of Bobrow v. Commissioner, (T.C. Memo. 2014-21) may not involve the 401(k), but the IRC Section 408(c) does state that it does include the 401(k) accounts. Though the court ruling does not involve the 401(k), it does directly affect Mr. Adams’ plans to rollover the current accounts.

Throughout the book, Patrick Kelly explain the benefits of tax-free retirement. He laid down the foundation of having a joyful and peaceful retirement. He explains two great products for “Tax-Free Retirement”: Roth IRA and Universal Life Insurance. Depending on income and how long a person will take to retire, one may be more suitable than the other. The Roth IRA is suitable for individuals that want to save less than $4000 per year, is not looking for life insurance, or someone that is close to retirement. The Roth IRA has no required contribution and the premium is always accessible making it perfect for people with unstable income or close to retirement. Furthermore, another solution that Kelley provides for “Tax-Free Retirement” is Universal
A traditional 401k plan allows you to not pay income tax on the money you save for retirement. Be aware of your contribution limits as these are adjusted each year.
If the government uses the existing system, there would be big cuts in the benefits. Furthermore, there would be borrowing or big increases in taxes. Therefore, by switching to private retirement accounts would be the solution since the accounts would be funded by existing payroll taxes.

The Irish Republican Army was an Irish republic revolutionary military organization. It came from the Irish volunteers, which were created on November 25, 1913. The Irish volunteers started the Easter Rising in order to end the British Rule in Ireland, leading them to be titled as the Irish Republican Army in January 1919.

The IRA was funded by extortion, bank robberies, and donations from their descendants. The Irish Republican Army’s main goal was to become independent from Great Britain.
To our governments credit the efforts of a decade ago didn’t break sprits of our lawmakers who still feel that asset shifting is a unjust practice. Four states have already implemented the new Partnership Program, which allows a consumer who buys, 100,000 in long term care to exempt that sum before claiming the rest of their assets, which would in turn allow that person to preserve money for their heirs and/or purchase the long-term care of their choice.

The defined-benefit plan was first introduced in the early 1940’s. This postwar period boasted a high level of organized labor with over one third of all workers in America belonging to a union. At that time, most unions demanded generous pension plans, pensions that would support a middle-class lifestyle into retirement. When companies said that they couldn’t afford to offer these types of pension plans, union leaders of various trades across...
