RMD Planning in 2020: Carson Webinar on what you need to know!
You might be struggling to keep retirement and tax rules straight – especially now as they have changed quite a bit this year, between the CARES Act and SECURE Act. Both bills have significant impacts on required minimum distributions (RMDs) in particular. By suspending RMDs in 2020, the federal government is hoping to give people more control over their money and reduce the need to sell investments, which would create a taxable event during a turbulent time. Our partners at Carson address your next steps in this webinar here.
