Social Security

How does Social Security work?
A financial safety net for older Americans, Social Security was established in 1935 by the
Social Security Act. Before that, support for the elderly wasn't a federal concern - it mostly
fell to states, towns and, of course, families.

The program is based on contributions that workers make into the system. While you're
employed, you pay into Social Security; you receive benefits later on, when it's your turn to
retire. Contributions take the form of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes
that are withheld from most paychecks.

Medicare benefits are commonly considered part of Social Security benefits, although
technically Medicare is a separate program. Medicare contributions are withheld from
your paycheck in much the same way as your Social Security contributions; FICA taxes
support Social Security and Medicare.   ///

How does Social Security fit into my retirement plan?
A financial safety net for older Americans, Social Security was established in 1935 by the
Social Security Act. Before that, support for the elderly wasn't a federal concern - it mostly
fell to states, towns and, of course, families.

The program is based on contributions that workers make into the system. While you're
employed, you pay into Social Security; you receive benefits later on, when it's your turn to
retire. Contributions take the form of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes
that are withheld from most paychecks.

Medicare benefits are commonly considered part of Social Security benefits, although
technically Medicare is a separate program. Medicare contributions are withheld from
your paycheck in much the same way as your Social Security contributions; FICA taxes
support Social Security and Medicare.
Does Social Security cover retirees only?
Nope. Disability and survivor benefits are included in the program. Contributions you make provide insurance in the event you become
disabled; they also may cover your adult child if he or she becomes disabled before age 22. And, assuming you worked enough to qualify
for retirement benefits, your spouse and children can receive Social Security survivor benefits after you die.







How does my work now equal benefits later? KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
You accumulate credits based on your earnings. In 2008, you get one credit for every $1,050 you earn (that figure is adjusted higher
each year), up to a limit of four credits per year. These credits remain on your record even if you change jobs or stop working for a
while.

If you were born after 1929, you need 40 credits in order to receive Social Security retirement benefits.


Am I eligible for Social Security benefits?
Yes, so long as you've worked for at least 10 years (for those born in 1929 or later). Ten years is the minimum amount of time
required to earn the mandatory 40 credits.

Even if you have accumulated your 40 credits, however, you can't start getting payouts until you're 62 or older.

NEXT: How do I know I'm getting credit for the years I worked?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) mails out a summary of your benefits each year, about three months before your birthday.
You can also request one by calling the SSA ( 800-772-1213 ) and asking for a form SSA-7004, or by downloading this form.

Your statement provides a record of your earnings history, the number of credits you've accumulated to date, and an estimate of the
retirement benefits available if you wait until full retirement age. Because your benefits depend on your lifetime earnings, check the
statement closely to make sure all the information is accurate.

NEXT: What about my eligibility for Medicare benefits?

You are eligible for Medicare benefits once you reach 65, provided you have accumulated the necessary 40 credits.

NEXT: When can I start getting payouts?
The earliest you can start collecting Social Security retirement benefits is age 62; the latest is age 70. When you start collecting payouts in
that eight-year span is up to you.

Your actual retirement date doesn't matter. You can retire before 62 if you like, and you can retire after 70. If you retire before 62, though,
you'll have to make sure you have enough money set aside to support you until Social Security payments kick in.

NEXT: Why should I wait past age 62 to start collecting?
This gets complicated - hang in there. The government makes you wait until "full retirement age" in order to start collecting the full
retirement payout that you've earned. So what's full retirement age? Good question. It used to be 65, but Congress voted in 1983 to raise
it to 67 for everyone born in 1960 or later. For those workers born between 1938 and 1960, the full retirement age varies depending on
your birth year. To find out yours, refer to the Social Security online retirement planner.

NEXT: How much will my payouts be if I collect at 62?
It depends on when you were born. For example, if you were born between 1943 and 1954, your payouts will be reduced 25% if you start
receiving benefits at age 62. That reduction is permanent - that is, the 25% reduction applies not only to the money you collect between
age 62 and 67, but all the money you'll collect for the rest of your life.

To figure out the reductions based on your age, check out the online table published by the Social Security Administration.

NEXT: How much will my payments be if I wait until age 70?
Your benefits payment goes up 8% for every year after full retirement age that you delay collecting payments. Until you turn 70, of course -
that's the longest you can delay. There's no benefit to delaying past age 70; you'd just be throwing money away.

NEXT: Can I start collecting benefits if I'm still working?   KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
Sure. But collecting Social Security when you're still working full-time is usually not a great move. That's because if you decide to start
collecting benefits when you're not yet retired, the government will cut your payouts according to a formula based on how much you
earn. For details, see What's the best age to start getting payouts?

NEXT: What's the best age to start getting payouts?
It depends on how long you'll live. Since none of us has that particular crystal ball handy, you'll have to assess the best age based on
how long you think you'll be around. If you think you'll die relatively early - sorry, this gets morbid - you'll obviously want to start getting
payouts as soon as possible (right at age 62). However, if your grandparents lived to 100 and you think you probably will too, your
best strategy is to put off taking payments until you turn 70.

If you live past a certain break-even date, waiting to receive your full benefit amount provides more money in the long run than if you
retire early and take the reduced payment. If you were to die before that break-even point, however, you would have been better off
going with the early (albeit reduced) benefits. Check out the Social Security Administration's break-even calculator.

NEXT: How big will my payouts be?
The annual benefits statement that the Social Security Administration sends you gives an estimate of how much you'll get if you wait
until full retirement age. You can also estimate your benefits by using the SSA's online calculators and/or worksheet.

The younger you are, the less accurate your estimate will be, because your as-yet-unknown future earnings will play an important
role in all of this.

NEXT: What if I want to work part-time in retirement?
That's a crucial question. When you earn some income and you haven't yet reached what Social Security considers full retirement
age, your payouts will typically be smaller during the period that you're working.

Specifically, if you start receiving your Social Security payouts early, but you're still working and earning more than $13,560 (the
annual limit for 2008), your benefit is reduced by $1 for every $2 above that limit. However, Social Security will make an adjustment
when you reach full retirement age to reflect the additional income you earned.

In the last year before reaching your full retirement age, the earnings limit rises to $36,120, and your benefits are reduced $1 for
every $3 above that limit. As of the month you reach full retirement age, your benefits are not affected by any earnings limits.

NEXT: Will my spouse and kids receive benefits when I die?
Survivor benefits are available for certain family members as long as you accumulated the 40 credits before dying.

Your children may qualify for 75% of your Social Security benefits based on your record of contributions, up until they turn 18 years old
(or 19, in the case of a child still in elementary or secondary school). As for your spouse, he or she can receive a reduced benefit
(71.5% of your benefits) as early as age 60, or your full benefit after reaching full retirement age. Those benefits will continue
indefinitely unless your spouse remarries.

Benefits for your spouse and kids are also limited by a family maximum, which is the maximum amount that can be paid from your
earnings record. For more details on survivor benefits, check out the Social Security Administration's Web site.

NEXT: How do Social Security disability payments work?  KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
Your eligibility for these benefits works on the same credit system as for retirement payouts, but there are slightly different rules about who is eligible. Eligibility
for disability benefits depends on how old you are when you become disabled, as well as the nature of your disability. You can't qualify for disability benefits if
you are able to work and earn more than $940 a month (in 2008). Your disability also must be considered severe enough to affect your everyday work-related
activities. Check out the online version of the process the Social Security Administration (SSA) uses to decide whether or not you qualify as disabled.

Disability benefit payments start only after you have been disabled for five months, and they continue until your condition has improved enough that you can start
working again. To estimate your disability payments, check out the online benefits calculator offered by the SSA.

If your adult child is disabled before the age of 22, he or she can qualify for benefits based on your earnings record. Anyone who becomes disabled after turning
22 needs to pass the recent work test, a measure of how many years of work you have performed depending on your age. Details of the test are available here.

If you are still receiving disability insurance by the time you reach full retirement age, your payments switch over to retirement benefits. The amount of your
payments remains the same.

NEXT: Will I get taxed on my Social Security payouts?
Maybe, depending on how much other income (such as pension or IRA distributions or salary) you receive in retirement.

Your benefits generally are not taxable if half of your benefits, plus all your other income, is less than $25,000 if you are single ($32,000 if you are married filing
jointly). If half of your benefits, plus all of your other income, is more than $34,000 (for singles) or $44,000 (married filing jointly), then 85% of your benefits are
subject to income tax. If you fall somewhere between the lower and upper limits, then the percentage of your taxable benefits varies between 0% and 85%.

To figure out if and how much of your benefits may be taxed, go to page 25 of this IRS worksheet.

NEXT: Will Social Security still exist when I retire?
Ah, the question everyone loves to debate. It's true that Social Security will soon start paying out more benefits than it receives in contributions, as the bulk of
the baby-boom generation phases into retirement.

The government's official position is that there is enough money saved to pay benefits at the currently scheduled amounts until 2041. The Social Security
Administration admits on its Web site that benefits will likely be reduced after that, barring changes that improve the financial strength of the system.

Some critics say that benefits could be at risk as early as 2016 or 2017, when Social Security cash flow turns negative. They claim that since the money paid in
over the last few decades is part of the government's overall budget, it is available only on paper; other branches of the government have spent it and left IOUs.
In order to pay benefits through 2041, the government would have to borrow.

NEXT: How does Social Security fit into my retirement plan?

If you're 55 or older now, you'll probably get the full benefit you're supposed to. Most of the recent discussions about reforming Social Security don't propose to
change the benefits of current retirees or near-retirees. If you're younger, you could face a 22% reduction in your payouts after 2041, with the likelihood of
further reductions each year thereafter.

It's likely that political leaders will try to make changes in the system to improve its long-term financial health, but such changes are impossible to predict. And
even in the best possible scenario, Social Security almost certainly won't pay you enough to live on in retirement.

So if you're under 55 and want to be conservative, don't factor in Social Security when making your calculations about how much to save and invest for
retirement. Set aside as much of your own money as you can in retirement savings accounts and invest it wisely. Bottom line: Your financial security in
retirement is your own responsibility.

Things That You Must Know About Social
Security
! KNOWLEDGEFINANCIALGROUP.COM
-
1. "Long-term deficit? We can hardly afford our bills today."
Worried about the future of Social Security? You're far from
alone. The Social Security Administration itself has said that
unless something is done to reform the system, it will burn
through its funds within the next few decades.

the Social Security Administration collected less revenue in
taxes than it needed to cover its benefit payments — the first
time expenditures have exceeded income since 1983. As a
result,

the program had to tap its $2.5 trillion trust fund, sooner than
some had expected. The same is expected to happen this year.
"The depth of the recession has slowed down revenues to the
system," --KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL
GROUP.COM

interest income from the Treasury bonds held in the trust fund
will allow it to keep growing until 2022 — even if the agency has
to siphon off some money to offset any shortages in tax
revenue -- and won't be exhausted until 2036,

when the first Gen Xers begin retiring. But that's already one
year earlier than previous projections. After that, the agency
says tax income under the current system will only cover about
75% of benefit payments through 2085.

2. "The more you make, the less you get back."
It's common to think of Social Security as an individual account
of sorts — what you pay in, you get back, more or less. That's
far from accurate.

By design, the Social Security Administration says, the system
is tilted in favor of lower-income workers who have fewer
resources to save for retirement.

In practice, that means that the more money you make, the less
you get back, at least as a percentage of your salary.

3. "This used to be a much better deal."
Today's workers — boomers, Gens X and Y — like to carp about
Social Security, but it's not all sour grapes or skepticism about
paying into a system with an uncertain future. Employees today
pay more in Social Security taxes than previous generations
did. They're also likely to get smaller benefits when it's their
turn to retire.  ---KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL
GROUP.COM

Over the years, as the Social Security Administration has come
to grips with the cost of its benefit program — and the ranks of
eligible beneficiaries has swollen — taxes to fund the program
have gone up and up, a trend that experts say is likely to
continue over the coming years.

As a result, workers now pay 6.2% in payroll taxes (reduced to
4.2% in 2011) — nearly double the 3.6% tax rate workers paid in
1965.--KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL
GROUP.COM

4. "Want a bigger check? Go back to work." Most people within
ten years of age 62 have already started doing the Social
Security math problem: How much do I get if I wait one year to
take payments? How much if I wait two years?

To get the biggest bump in benefits, workers have to delay their
benefits beyond full retirement age — around 66 for people
born before 1957, closer to 67 for people born after. (To find
your exact date, see Social Security Online.) For every
additional year you wait, you'll get an 8% increase in payments
until you hit age 70. KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL
GROUP.COM

If you've already started collecting benefits and you're under full
retirement age, it's not too late to get a raise. One strategy: Go
back to work.
If you earn more than $14,160, the Social Security
Administration will dock $1 in benefits for every $2 you earn.
But once you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be
recalculated to account for the money you didn't get while
working. So, for example,

someone who took their benefits at 62 — at a 25% reduction
compared to full benefits — but went back to work from ages
63 to 66 and earned enough to zero out his entire Social
Security check could end up collecting close to full benefits at
age 66.

5. "Good luck qualifying for disability."
More than 8 million people receive Social Security Disability
Insurance, which is awarded to people who are unable to work
because of a long-term physical or mental disability. But
qualifying is no easy task

Some of that change can be attributed to more people applying
for benefits — 2.8 million in 2009 compared to 1.5 million a
decade earlier.
That's common when the economy is tough, says someone in
the administration : The number of applications rises, along
with an increase in claims that fall short of the agency's
standards. Even for people with true and serious disabilities, it
can be difficult to qualify.

The process can take years and often requires legal help. Most
people have to wait for a hearing, says Roberts: "Best case, it is
18 months before you get approved." In some cases, the battle
goes to federal court.

To improve your chances, Roberts recommends applying for
benefits as soon as you become disabled. Waiting too long
could leave you in a situation where you haven't worked long
enough to qualify for disability benefits. You must generally
have worked at least three to ten years before you became
disabled, depending on your age.

The spokeswoman for the Social Security Administration says
it does not pay benefits for partial or short-term disability and
taxpayers must be able to show that they cannot do work they
did before or adjust to other work because of their medical
condition.--KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL

6. "You can be unemployed and retired."
A growing number of people in their 60s are collecting
unemployment and Social Security benefits at the same time.
Since 2002, seventeen states have changed the rules to allow
people to qualify for more unemployment benefits while they
receive Social Security, according to the National

Employment Law Project, which has advocated on behalf of
allowing seniors to claim both. It's perfectly legal; you just have
to report the income to both agencies.

There is no clear data on how many people are drawing both.
About 10% percent of people who collected unemployment
benefits in 2010 were 60 or older, according to the Department
of Labor; the minimum age to collect Social Security retirement
benefits is age 62.

For those who qualify, the option has obvious appeal for older
Americans struggling to find work in today's weak job market.
"We are generally talking about older workers who lose their
jobs involuntarily, who are trying to survive," says George
Wentworth, an attorney with the National Employment Law
Project.

Receiving unemployment benefits doesn't affect your Social
Security payments, but the reverse is not always true: In some
states, collecting Social Security can reduce your
unemployment checks. In Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah
and Colorado, your unemployment benefits can be reduced by
half of your monthly Social Security benefit.

RETIREMENT PLANS AND
ACCOUNTS
Retirement plans are built by regular
contributions paid by a company, an
employee, or both.

The contributions are deposited in a
company-sponsored plan or individual
account, which accumulates earnings
through investments.

When the employee reaches retirement
age, benefits are paid in regular
installments or a lump-sum distribution.

All retirement funds offer the advantage of
tax-deferred earnings; some even shelter
earnings or income.

They differ, though, as to the limit of
contributions, who can contribute, the age
when benefits begin, the number of years
it takes to be vested, the fees charged,
and portability.

Types of Retirement Plans and
Accounts
Traditionally, employers rewarded years of
loyal service by providing employees with
a guaranteed pension for life.

So-called defined-benefit plans were fully
funded by the company,
with the level of
benefit determined by the employee’s
salary and years of service at the time of
retirement.

Defined-benefit contributions were free
money that the employer planted and grew
for employees.

Not surprisingly, defined-benefit plans are
rapidly disappearing in favor of various
types of
employee-contribution plans, including the
following:

Defined-contribution plans—These
define the amount of contribution an
employee can make to a retirement fund,
usually as a percentage of salary.
Although the plans are company
sponsored, employers do not have to
contribute.

Benefits depend on how much has been
deposited and how well the investments
have done. Earnings are not taxed until
withdrawn. A 401(k) is an example of a
defined-contribution plan.

----------------------------------

What’s Right for You?
Determining which plans are best for you is
a personal decision. Much depends on
whether you are an employee, self-
employed, or living off passive income;
whether you are just beginning your career
or nearing retirement; whether your
income is high or low; and whether you
want to retire early or work forever.

An employer-sponsored retirement plan is
one of the few tax-savings opportunities
available to employees. The greatest
advantage of retirement plans is this: The
more you contribute to yourself, the less
you contribute to the government in the
form of taxes.

Furthermore, if you have an employer who
matches your investment, every dollar you
contribute automatically earns a 100
percent return. But you have to weigh
these advantages against a plan’s
predefined retirement age of 55, 59, or 70,
which dictates when you can withdraw your
funds

Social Security Benefits: 12
Things You Must  to Know
About
.--.FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

.
Social Security Insurance was
established in 1935 as a financial
safety net for older Americans. Eight
decades later, all Americans pay into
the system, with Social Security the
largest source of income for citizens
age 65 and older.

During 2012, nearly 160 million
workers will continue to have 4.2
percent of their pay deposited into
the Social Security Trust Fund instead
of the usual 6.2 percent, according to
a statement from the IRS based on the
Temporary Payroll Tax Cut
Continuation Act of 2011.

The program is based on
contributions that workers make into
the system. While you're employed,
you pay into Social Security; when it's
your turn to retire you receive
benefits.

You can start your Social Security
retirement benefits as early as age 62
or as late as age 70 (if you were born
in 1960 or later, your full retirement
age is 67). Your monthly benefit
amount will be different depending on
the age you start receiving it.

The amount of money you receive
from Social Security is based on a
number of factors, including how
much income you earned throughout
your working years, the year you were
born, and the age at which you file for
benefits. If you claim Social Security
early, your benefits will be reduced by
a fraction of a percent for each month
before your full retirement age.

FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL


The following 10 points are
based on best practices
recommended by the U.S. Social
Security Administration of policy
website.  
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL
1. How Benefits Are Calculated
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

Benefits are based on your lifetime
earnings. Your actual earnings are
adjusted or “indexed” to account for
changes in average wages since the
year the earnings were received. Then
Social Security calculates your
average indexed monthly earnings
during the 35 years in which you
earned the most.

Social Security recipients below their
full retirement age (66 for those born
between 1943 and 1954) can earn up
to $14,640 in 2012 (not including tax
withholdings).
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL


2. Paying Income Tax on Benefits

Some states tax Social Security
benefits, while others don't. Check the
laws in the state where you reside.

No matter where you live, you will
have to pay federal taxes on your
Social Security benefits if you file a
federal tax return as an individual and
your total income is more than $25,000.
If you file a joint return, you will have
to pay taxes if you and your spouse
have a total income of more than
$32,000.
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL


3. If You Wait to Claim, Benefits
Increase

Monthly Social Security payments will
be bigger if you wait until your full
retirement age to sign up for benefits
instead of claiming at age 62. Even if
you delay your claiming decision by a
year, you will get a boost in your
benefit.

4. Claiming Benefits After Your Full
Retirement Age (Older than 65)

FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

If you wait as long as possible to
collect, your payments could increase
by 8 percent annually after your full
retirement age. Additionally, you get
two-thirds of 1 percent more for each
month you delay.

5. Maximum Social Security
Retirement Benefit

The maximum possible Social Security
check grew to $2,513 per month in
2012. That is up from $2,366 in 2011. In
order to get this amount, a worker
would need to earn the maximum
taxable amount ($110,100 in 2012)
every year after age 21.
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL
6. Receiving Social Security and Unemployment at the Same Time
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL.COM

Unemployment insurance benefits are not counted under the Social Security annual earnings test and
therefore do not affect your receipt of Social Security benefits.

However, the unemployment benefit amount of an individual may be reduced by the receipt of a pension
or other retirement income, including Social Security  benefits.


7. Receiving Social Security Benefits When Living Overseas

As long as you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your Social Security benefits outside the United States.
So you can retire abroad.
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL.COM


8. Receiving Credit for Military Service  // FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

Earnings for active duty military service or active duty training have been covered under Social Security
since 1957. Under certain circumstances, special earnings can be credited to your military pay record for
Social Security purposes.

The extra earnings are for periods of active duty or active duty for training. These extra earnings may
help you qualify for Social Security or increase the amount of your Social Security benefit.


9. Couples Have Extra Options
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

Spouses are entitled to Social Security benefits of up to 50 percent of the higher earner's check if that
amount is higher than the payments based on his or her own working record.



Additionally, dual-earner couples who have reached their full retirement age can even claim twice by first
signing up for a spousal payment, then claiming again later based on their own work record (which will
then be higher due to delayed claiming).


10. Social Security Numbers Have Significance //
FINANCIAL ACADEMY SCHOOL

The first three digits of your Social Security number are assigned based on geographical region, with the
lowest numbers being assigned in the Northeast and increasingly higher numbers assigned to residents
in the West.

The middle two digits, called the group number, are allocated in a precise but nonconsecutive order
between 01 and 99.
The last four digits are issued in a sequential order. Over 420 million unique numbers have been issued
and they are not reused after a person's death.

Backdoor Roth IRA:

A Roth IRA is a great option than a traditional IRA if you anticipate to pay a higher income when you retire.

This means that either you have a huge retirement plan provided by your employer, or you are expecting other non-retirement income
as well such as residual income from a business, lottery winnings or other investments.

----------------

What Is a Backdoor Roth IRA?

A backdoor Roth IRA, it is an informal name for a complicated, IRS-sanctioned method for high-income taxpayers to fund a Roth IRA, even
if their income is higher than the maximum the IRS allows for regular Roth contributions.

Backdoor Roth IRAs are not a special type of account; rather, they are usually traditional IRA accounts or 401(k)s which have been
converted to Roth IRAs.

A backdoor Roth IRA is a legal way to get around the income limits that normally restrict high-earners from contributing to Roths.

A backdoor Roth IRA is not a tax dodge—in fact, it might incur higher taxes when it's established—but it does provide investors with
future tax savings.

==============

Advantages of a Backdoor Roth IRA

Aside from getting around the limits, why would taxpayers want to take the extra steps involved in doing the backdoor Roth IRA dance?


For one thing, Roth IRAs don’t have required minimum distributions (RMDs), which means account balances can see tax-deferred growth
for as long as the account holder is alive. You can take out as much or as little as you want when you want, or leave it all for your heirs.


Another reason is that a backdoor Roth contribution can mean significant tax savings over the decades since Roth IRA distributions,
unlike traditional IRA distributions, are not taxable. The main advantage of a backdoor Roth IRA—as with Roths in general—is that you
pay taxes upfront on your contributions, and everything after that is tax-free.


Backdoor Roth IRA: What It Is and How to Set One Up

A backdoor Roth IRA lets you convert your traditional IRA to a Roth, even if your income is too high to open a Roth IRA the regular way.

Understanding Backdoor Roth IRAs

A backdoor Roth IRA is a way for people with high incomes to sidestep the Roth’s income limits.

Basically, a backdoor Roth IRA boils down to some fancy administrative work: You put money in a traditional IRA, convert the account to a
Roth IRA, pay some taxes and you’re done. Even though you didn’t qualify to contribute to a Roth, you get to go in the back door anyway,
no matter what your income.

That’s good news, because your money grows tax-free

A Roth IRA lets taxpayers set aside a few thousand dollars into a special retirement savings account, in which the assets grow, and
eventually can be withdrawn, without incurring any income tax.

The problem: People who earn more than a certain amount aren’t allowed to open or fund Roth IRAs—under the regular rules, anyway.

If your modified adjusted gross income is well into the six figures, the IRS starts phasing out the amount you can contribute; once your
annual income gets above a certain threshold, you cannot participate at all. The limits, which vary depending on your taxpayer status
(single, married filing jointly, etc.

However, traditional IRAs don't have these income limits. And since 2010, the IRS hasn’t had income limits that restrict who can convert a
traditional IRA to Roth IRA. As a result, the backdoor Roth has become an option for higher-income taxpayers who ordinarily couldn't
contribute to a Roth.

=============

How to Create a Backdoor Roth IRA

You can do a backdoor Roth IRA in one of several ways. The first method is to contribute money to an existing traditional IRA and then
roll over the funds to a Roth IRA account. Or, you can roll over existing traditional IRA money into a Roth—as much as you want at one
time, even if it's more than the annual contribution amount.

Another way is to convert your entire traditional IRA account to a Roth IRA account. Your IRA custodial bank or brokerage should be able
to help you with the mechanics.

A third way to make a backdoor Roth contribution is by making an after-tax contribution to a 401(k) plan and then roll it over to a Roth IRA.

Every investor is eligible to do one Roth IRA conversion a year.

=============

How to create a backdoor Roth IRA

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a backdoor Roth IRA conversion:

Put money in a traditional IRA account. You might already have an account, or you might need to open one and fund it. (If you need to
open an account, see our picks for the best IRA providers.)


Convert the account to a Roth IRA. Your IRA administrator will give you the instructions and paperwork. If you don’t already have a Roth
IRA, you’ll open a new account during the conversion process.



Prepare to pay taxes. Only post-tax dollars go into Roth IRAs. So if you deducted your traditional IRA contributions and then decide to
convert your traditional IRA to a backdoor Roth, you’ll need to give that tax deduction back.


When it comes time to file your tax return, be prepared to pay income tax on the money you converted to a Roth. And see below for
details on the pro-rata rule, which plays a big part in determining your tax bill.


Prepare to pay taxes on the gains in your traditional IRA. If the money in that traditional IRA has been sitting there awhile and there are
investment gains, you’ll also owe tax on those gains at tax time.

----------

Mind the rules

Keep these rules in mind to avoid penalties:

Types of transfers.

The conversion needs to be one of the following: 1) a rollover, where you receive the money from your IRA and deposit it into the Roth
within 60 days, 2) a trustee-to-trustee transfer, where the IRA provider sends the money directly to your Roth IRA provider, or 3) a “same
trustee transfer,” where your money goes from the IRA to the Roth at the same financial institution.

The pro-rata rule. The IRS requires rollovers from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs to be done pro rata. Here’s how it works: When
determining your tax bill on a conversion from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, the IRS is going to look at all of your traditional IRA
accounts combined. If all of your traditional IRAs combined consist of, say, 70% pre-tax money and 30% after-tax money, that ratio
determines what percentage of the money you convert to a Roth is going to be taxable.

In this example, no matter how much money you convert or which IRA account you pull the money from, 70% of the amount you convert to
the Roth will be taxable. You can’t choose to convert only after-tax money; the IRS won’t allow it.

And a word about timing: the IRS applies the pro-rata rule to your total IRA balance at year-end, not at the time of conversion.

================

Backdoor Roth IRA:

The Ultimate Roth IRA Conversion Guide – Everything You Need to Know

Roth IRAs don’t come with Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) at age 72 like a traditional IRA either, so you can continue letting your
money grow until you’re ready to access it. When you do decide to take distributions from a Roth IRA, you won’t have to pay income
taxes on that money. You already paid income taxes before you contributed, remember?



Roth IRA Conversion Rules…

A conversion can get you into a Roth IRA—even if your income is too high.  The conversion would be part of a 2-step process, often
referred to as a "backdoor" strategy. First, place your contribution in a traditional IRA—which has no income limits. Then, move the
money into a Roth IRA using a Roth conversion.


Conversion Rules You Need to Know

Though there are income limits that apply to contributing to a Roth IRA, these income limits do not apply to Roth IRA conversions. With
that in mind, here are some important Roth IRA conversion rules you need to learn and understand:

Which accounts can you convert?

While the most common Roth IRA conversion is one from a traditional IRA, you can convert other accounts to a Roth IRA. Any funds in a
QRP that are eligible to be rolled over can be converted to a Roth IRA.

-----------

60-day Rollover Rule

You can take direct delivery of the funds from your traditional IRA (check made payable to you personally), and then roll them over into a
Roth IRA account, but you must do so within 60 days of the distribution. If you don’t, the amount of the distribution (less non-deductible
contributions) will be taxable in the year received, the conversion will not take place, and the IRS 10% early distribution tax penalty will
apply.

--------------

Trustee-to-Trustee Transfer Rule

This is not only the easiest way to work the transfer but it also virtually eliminates the possibility that the funds from your traditional IRA
account will become taxable. You simply tell your traditional IRA trustee to direct the money to the trustee of your Roth IRA account, and
the whole transaction should proceed smoothly.

-------------------

Same Trustee Transfer

This is even easier than a trustee-to-trustee transfer because the money stays within the same institution. You simply set up a Roth IRA
account with the trustee who is holding your traditional IRA, and direct them to move the money from the traditional IRA into your Roth
IRA account.

-------------

Additional Details to Be Aware Of

Note that, if you don’t follow the rules outlined above and your money doesn’t get deposited into a Roth IRA account within 60 days, you
could be subject to a 10% penalty on early distributions as well as income taxes on the converted amounts if you’re under the age of 59
½.

And, as we already mentioned, you’ll have to pay income taxes on converted amounts regardless of which rule you choose to follow
above. You’ll report the conversion to the IRA on Form 8606 when you file your income taxes for the year of the conversion.

===============

SEP-IRA

A Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Arrangement is a variation of the Individual Retirement Account used in the United
States. SEP IRAs are adopted by business owners to provide retirement benefits for themselves and their employees. There are no
significant administration costs for a self-employed person with no employees. If the self-employed person does have employees, all
employees must receive the same benefits under a SEP plan. Since SEP IRAs are a type of IRA, funds can be invested the same way as
most other IRAs.

-----------

Ultimate guide to retirement

A SEP IRA is a type of traditional IRA for self-employed individuals or small business owners. (SEP stands for Simplified Employee
Pension.) Any business owner with one or more employees, or anyone with freelance income, can open a SEP IRA.

Contributions, which are tax-deductible for the business or individual, go into a traditional IRA held in the employee's name. Employees
of the business cannot contribute - the employer does. Like a traditional IRA, the money in a SEP IRA is not taxable until withdrawal.

===============

SIMPLE IRA

A SIMPLE IRA is an employer-sponsored retirement plan offered within small businesses that have 100 or fewer employees.

A Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees Individual Retirement Account, commonly known by the abbreviation "SIMPLE IRA", is a
type of tax-deferred employer-provided retirement plan in the United States that allows employees to set aside money and invest it to
grow for retirement.


Specifically, it is a type of Individual Retirement Account that is set up as an employer-provided plan. It is an employer sponsored plan,
like better-known plans such as the 401(k) and 403(b), but offers simpler and less costly administration rules, as it is subject to ERISA
and its associated regulations.


Like a 401(k) plan, the SIMPLE IRA can be funded with pretax salary reduction, but those contributions are still subject to Social Security,
Medicare, and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes. Contribution limits for SIMPLE plans are lower than for most other types of
employer-provided retirement plans as compared to conventional defined contribution plans like Section 402(g), 401(k), 401(a), and 403
(b) plans.


A SIMPLE IRA, or Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, is a type of tax-deferred retirement savings plan.

SIMPLE IRAs are easy to set up, and they can be a good option for small businesses.

They have some drawbacks, and businesses that can afford to set up other plans might consider it.

------------------

SIMPLE IRA:

How to Establish One

Employers establish the plan using Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 5304-SIMPLE if they want to allow employees to choose the
financial institution where they will hold their SIMPLE IRAs, or using Form 5305-SIMPLE if the employer wants to choose the financial
institution where employees will hold their IRAs.

Employees must fill out a SIMPLE IRA adoption agreement to open their accounts.

Once the plan is established, employers are required to contribute to it each year unless the plan is terminated.

----------------

SIMPLE IRA?

A SIMPLE IRA is a retirement savings plan that most small businesses with 100 or fewer employees can use. "SIMPLE" stands for
"Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees," and "IRA" stands for "Individual Retirement Account." Employers can choose to make a
2% retirement account contribution to all employees or an optional matching contribution of up to 3%.

Employees can contribute a maximum of $13,500 annually in 2020; the maximum is increased periodically to account for inflation.
Retirement savers ages 50 and older may make an additional catch-up contribution of $3,000, bringing their annual maximum to $16,500.
