1 Course Name: New Dynamics in Qualified Plans Post-Pension Protection Act of 2006 Speakers: Zak Kenne, Fox Lalonde & Kenne John Lalonde, Fox Lalonde & Kenne Course Description: This session gives interested professionals an overview of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) with respect to qualified plans. It examines the impact PPA has on qualified plan designs both at the employer and participant level (i.e. the elimination of the IRC 404(a)(7) contribution restrictions). The session covers the impact on tax deductibility for calendar year plans and plan years that overlap tax years; IRC 404(a)(6). Discussion will also cover both IRC 415(b)(1)(a) and IRC 415(c)(1)(a) benefits and allowable contributions from the perspective of both PBGC plans and non-pbgc plans under the new law, with emphasis on incidental benefits and highlighting the utility of IRC 401(h), a post-retirement individual medical/dental reimbursement plan. Learning Objectives: Participants will learn what happened and the impact on retirement/tax planning under Pension Protection Act of 2006: The changes in tax law applicable to PPA (lecture); IRC 404(a)(7); How to apply the changes in the tax law to the individual client situation/goals; How to customize the qualified plan design to fit the client objectives; default designs maximizing owner/key contributions IRC 415 and 404(a)(6), and minimizing the required employee contribution; The new IRC 415 limits and how to pre-fund future colas; About 401(h) plans, a tax trifecta: a. tax deductible plan contributions, b. tax exempt earnings, and c. tax free payout under IRC Category: Prerequisites: Technical None
