Nothing herein constitutes an offer for sale, or solicitation of any offer to purchase, any security. Securities distributed by ING Financial Advisers, LLC (member SIPC) or other broker-dealers with which it has a selling agreement
6 Washington Update This material highlights key issues of legislative initiatives. Currently lawmakers and industry organizations are giving serious attention to a number of bills. Any or all of these proposals could die in committee, change radically or pass after the session ends. This information is provided as guidance. It is not intended to be legal or tax advice.
7 My Oh myra Executive Order Employers who do not offer retirement plans Think Roth IRA backed by a government guaranteed bond (the R Bond) Workers can invest if they make less than $191,000 ($125,000 if single) No tax penalty if amounts withdrawn Business does not administer only offers Key is payroll to payroll; can be rolled to an IRA and is portable from job to job If account grows to $15,000 or is in place for 30 years must be rolled Could be same interest rate as federal thrift plan government securities
8 My Oh myra While we are in favor of expanded coverage (and who would not be) how will the government pay for this creation??????
9 Tax Reform Retirement Plan Deductions that have been discussed in the past: Limit DC contributions Lower elective deferrals Eliminate catch-ups Lower considered compensation Eliminate cross-testing Replace pre-tax system with tax credits Limit total deductions Note that these are all incentives for employers to sponsor a plan Major tax reform may be put off for a while but what if Our best defense Satisfied participants and reminding Congress about tax deferral vs. tax expenditure
10 Tax Reform While listening to the rhetoric keep in mind some positive news(from a recent Fidelity study): Average Account Balance - $89,300 Over 55 - $165,200 IRA/Plan total balance - $261,400 From EBRI about 80% of full time workers are eligible for a plan Scary number 21% of all 401(k) participants have at least one outstanding loan
11 The President s 2014 Budget (for 2015) Most items repeated from last year Subject Roth accounts to RMD rules (this is new) 28% cap on retirement plan deferrals Eliminate non-spouse lifetime beneficiary payments Eliminate RMDs if aggregate is less than $100,000 Allow 60 day rollover for non-spouse Auto IRA more than 10 employees default is Roth Accumulation cap of $210,000 per year (about $3.2 million)
12 Tax Reform Proposal by House Republicans Introduced by Dave Camp (R- Michigan) Double taxation for those at high income levels via a 10% surtax on employee and employer contributions. Also a freeze on contribution limits until 2023 Limits the same for 401k, 403b and 457 Eliminate SEPs and SIMPLE 401k but not SIMPLE IRA No new pre-tax IRA contribs other than rollovers Non spouse 5 year payout rule No 6 month penalty for hardship 10% for early withdrawal applies to governmental plans Loan repayments after term or plan term extended
13 Retirement Security Act of 2014 Introduced by Collins (R- Maine) AND Nelson (D- FL) Allow easier reporting for MEPs without a nexus for companies with less than 500 EEs Allow MEPs to remain qualified even with a bad apple Allow Auto Enroll QACAs to set limit higher than 10% Businesses with less than 100 EEs would get a tax credit equal to the extra match due to increased deferral limits Low income tax credit would be allowed for 1040EZ filers
14 USA Accounts Introduced by Harkin Democratic Senator Iowa Universal, Secure and Adaptable = USA Think workplace IRA for those without a plan that pays out in an annuity pooled professional management Key differentiator in the employer mandate and not optional
15 USA Accounts Other Provisions: New safe harbor for selection of annuities (an annuity administrator ) DB funding relief as proposed by ASPPA MEPs for companies with no common interest but only if joining after January 1, 2014 Also simplified audit requirements if less than 1000 participants in total
16 Hatch Bill (S.1270) - SAFE Introduces a starter 401(k) SIMPLE plans can be replaced by a 401(k) mid-year No TH contribution for part-time workers Increase minimum and maximum auto enroll rates (QACA) Adopt plan by due date of tax return (after PYE) Many other items that would increase coverage and simplify administration
17 Neal Bill (H.R. 2117) Permit rollovers of insurance contracts SIMPLE plans can be replaced by a 401(k) mid-year No TH contribution for part-time workers Increase maximum auto enroll rates (QACA) Adopt plan by due date of tax return (after PYE) Clarify that forfeitures can fund SH contributions Remove barriers for open MEPs Many other items that would increase coverage and simplify administration
18 Other Bills leftover from 2013 Auto IRA Companies more than 10 employees Don t sponsor plan R Bond concept Increase coverage
19 Other Bills leftover from 2013 Lifetime Income Disclosure - Monthly lifetime income amount at Normal Retirement Date (NRD) reported on statement - No requirement for actual annuities - Not controversial because no taxes involved - Idea is to educate participants about a theoretical monthly amount at retirement (or budgeting) and to encourage them to save more - Introduced in 2013 by Senators Murphy and Isakson
20 Other Bills leftover from 2013 Shrinking Emergency Account Losses in 401(k) Savings Act of SEAL - Eliminate 6 month suspension after a hardship withdrawal is taken - Allow loan repayments to IRA after termination
21 On the DB side of things PBGC premiums going up But watch out some on Capitol Hill are proposing further premium increases
22 State Activity Several states are getting or want to get into the retirement administration business Massachusetts small non-profit deferral plans California SB 1234 State based for companies with more than 5 employees who do not offer a plan passed in August, 2012 needs to be implemented - Other states (Illinois, Maryland, Maine, Connecticut) looking at this model - Indiana is looking at a State run MEP concept
23 State Activity Mass. Inquiry State of Mass. Secretary of State William Galvin Match shifting from payroll to annual Reaction to AOL Others that do this IBM, Deutche Bank, Charles Schwab (industry data says 8%) He wanted to know Employers, # of Employees, Date of change and see disclosures Sent to 25 firms (only some were record keepers)
24 IRS Activity Roth Conversions IRS Notice Amend by last day of 2014 or last day of first plan year effective if later Only vested amounts Retain distribution restrictions Start 5 year clock upon conversion Could present opportunities for participant education Tax diversification Converting after-tax contributions How to design plan options
