Groom Paper Discusses Roth Accounts
March 4, 2013 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Groom Law Group posted a paper that provides an overview of Roth plans, also known as designated Roth plans.
Reported by Rebecca Moore
The paper discusses the benefits of providing employees with a Roth option, the after-tax treatment of designated Roth contributions and Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requirements governing Roth plans. It also explains the optional in-plan rollover of distributions from traditional accounts to Roth accounts.
The paper is updated to reflect the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which allows for in-plan Roth conversions without a distributable event (see “The Increased Availability of Roth In-Plan Conversions”).
