SECURE Act 2.0 – Helping Employees and Employers With Retirement Savings

By Anu Joshi, CPA, MST, Principal, Tax & Advisory

In late December of 2022, while most of us were busy with other things, Congress was working on passing a giant omnibus budget bill. The 2023 omnibus bill was signed into law by the President on December 29, 2022. Buried within it was the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement 2.0 Act of 2022 (SECURE 2.0).

It’s been said repeatedly: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Yet many individuals often disregard this saying. And it comes back to haunt them or their heirs at a future date.

If you’ve built up a substantial nest egg over the years, it’s likely you feathered it through various investments. This growth may have been fueled by one or two specific stocks. For instance, if you acquired Amazon or Apple before those stocks took off, you may be sitting on a goldmine. (more…)

Pros and Cons of Using Retirement Accounts for Emergencies

As businesses and individuals continue to feel the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, some taxpayers might be considering tapping into their tax-qualified retirement accounts, either to keep their businesses operating or to meet personal cash needs.
