Have you ever wondered how to ensure financial security for a disabled loved one after you're gone? Or perhaps you're looking for ways to navigate the complexities of estate planning when it comes to disability benefits. In either case, understanding the ins and outs of Qualified Disability Trusts (QDTs) is a game-changer.   In this episode, host Annette Hines talks with Mark Worthington, Senior Counsel at Special Needs Law Group of Massachusetts, P.C.. Annette and Mark discussed the intricacies of qualified disability trusts and the significant impact of the Secure Act and Secure 2.0 regulations on retirement and estate planning. These regulations have introduced essential adjustments, particularly affecting minimum distribution requirements and allowing charities to be designated as beneficiaries, providing greater flexibility in special needs trusts (SNTs). This is invaluable information that will make all the difference for you and your loved one's futures.    In this episode, you will hear: How the Secure Act and Secure 2.0 Regulations impact minimum distribution requirements and charity beneficiaries Why you should be thoughtful about your trustees What the tax implications of third-party special needs trusts are based on income earned and distributions made How a trust can inherit an IRA What you need to know about ABLE Accounts and why you should have one Resources from this Episode: Mark W.

It is tax time and we want to revisit a popular episode! Learn from Host Annette Hines and her favorite guest, law partner, and husband, Mark Worthington about answers to four top questions people ask about tax preparation and tax reporting: Can I claim my adult child as a dependent? If I charge my adult child room and board when they are living with me, is that taxable income to me? And how does this impact their Supplemental Security Income (SSI)? Taxation of special needs trusts and SECURE (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement) Act of 2019 updates. How are caregiver payments such as Adult Family Care (AFC) and Personal Care Attendant (PCA) taxed to the recipient? In relation to #3 on taxation of special needs trusts and the SECURE Act, Mark and Annette discuss the proposed regulations that were released in February 2022. The SECURE Act shifted how distributions could be taken from retirement accounts after the account owner dies.  If you are considering including a retirement account in a special needs trust for a disabled beneficiary or if you are a trustee managing a trust that has an inherited retirement account, you must be talking with a special needs estate planner like Annette or Mark or a tax advisor.  If you or are working with an individual who lives in Massachusetts and need guidance on special needs trusts, you can contact their firm, Special Needs Law Group of Massachusetts, PA on their website: https://specialneeds-law.com/contact/ Since the recording of this episode, Congress signed into law SECURE 2.0 Act in late 2022, and updated how people save money for retirement and withdraw funds from retirement accounts. SECURE 2.0 completely revised the rules for the age at which retirees must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their retirement plans.  If your trust has an inherited retirement account or if you are the beneficiary of one directly, you will have to pay attention to the new required minimum distribution (RMD) rules. Finally, an important point that Annette and Mark make is that distribution decisions for a special needs trust to a beneficiary cannot be made based on taxes. Rather these decisions should be made best on what is in the best interest of the beneficiary, how much needs to be saved, the size of the trust, form of the distribution. What types of tax questions do you have? What can Annette or Mark answer for you in future episodes? Leave us a comment or question here: https://specialneedscompanies.com/podcasts
