Building on last week's discussion about why rolling over your old 401(k) into an IRA could be a smart move, this episode flips the script. It explores seven compelling reasons you might want to leave your 401(k) with your previous employer instead. I break down factors like fees, company stock advantages, penalty-free withdrawals, legal protections, and unique investment options that could all influence your decision.  If you're approaching retirement or just planning your next career move, this episode is packed with insights to help you make the best choices for your financial future.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [04:12] Leave company stock in 401k to use net unrealized depreciation, potentially saving on taxes via long-term capital gains. [08:55] Consider keeping company stock in an old 401(k) to avoid taxes and penalties if under 59.5 years. [10:01] IRA withdrawal exemptions and strategies. [16:01] Consider keeping your old 401 (k) for potential loan access, but check if your provider permits non-employee loans. [17:50] Deferring 401(k) distributions explained. When to Leave Your Old 401(k) With Your Previous Employer Changing jobs often means making quick decisions about retirement savings. While rolling over your old 401(k) into an IRA is a common choice, there are significant advantages to leaving it where it is. This week, I'm discussing the situations when maintaining your previous employer's retirement plan is advantageous.  1. Potential for Lower Fees If you worked for a large organization, their 401(k) plan might offer exceptionally low administrative and investment fees, especially if they've chosen robust menus with index fund options. While IRA costs have dropped due to strong competition among major financial institutions like Schwab, Fidelity, and Vanguard, some large employer plans still offer a lower cost.  Always compare fees before making a move; sometimes, your old 401(k) will be the most cost-effective option available. 2. Tax Benefits of Company Stock (Net Unrealized Appreciation) Do you have significant company stock in your 401(k)? You could benefit from the unique tax break called Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). This allows you to pay lower long-term capital gains rates on your stock's growth instead of higher ordinary income rates. However, to take advantage of NUA, you must carefully roll out your stock and be mindful of any 10% penalty if you're under 59½. Know your stock's cost basis and consult with a tax professional to determine if waiting is best, especially if your cost basis is higher. 3. Penalty-Free Access Between Age 55 and 59½ Left your job between 55 and 59½? Here's a little-known benefit: you can tap your old 401(k) penalty-free before age 59½. If you roll the balance into an IRA, that door closes, unless you qualify for rare exceptions. This rule can be crucial if you need those funds to bridge the gap to retirement, so consider leaving at least part of your balance in the plan until you turn 59½. 4. Enhanced Creditor Protection Federal law (ERISA) offers 401(k) plans strong protection from creditors and judgments, even in bankruptcy. While rollover IRAs are also protected under federal and many state laws, the details can get complicated. Certain states may limit IRA protections, so it's wise to investigate your state's rules. Segmenting rollover IRAs from contributory IRAs can also help simplify tracking and protection. 5. Access to Stable Value Funds Some 401(k) plans offer stable value funds, a low-risk investment choice that often comes with a guaranteed minimum rate of return. While money market funds are currently paying more, that could change if interest rates drop. In lower-rate environments, stable value funds could offer an edge and a safe harbor for your retirement assets. 6. Possible Loan Availability Need to borrow against your retirement savings? Some plans allow you to take a loan from your 401(k), even after leaving the company. However, this isn't universal, since loan repayments are usually tied to payroll. Check with your plan administrator to see if this benefit applies; if it does, it could be an important safety net. 7. Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) Deferral if Still Working If you work past age 73, keeping your funds in a 401(k) with your current employer lets you defer required minimum distributions (RMDs). That's not the case with IRAs. Consolidating old 401(k)s into your current plan can simplify RMD timing and let your funds grow tax-deferred a bit longer. Make an Informed Move Rolling over your 401(k) may seem automatic, but there are times when staying put is the better choice. Carefully assess fees, tax implications, creditor protections, and your unique needs. Most importantly, consider working with a fiduciary, fee-only financial advisor who understands your entire financial picture.

In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon review a recent industry focus-study on the economic impact of capping or eliminating the tax benefits associated with employer-provided health plans. Suzanne begins by providing a background on the employer-sponsored insurance tax breaks, their impact on employers and employees, and why Congress is considering a potential cap or elimination of those tax breaks. Suzanne and Chase discuss a recent study that addresses the negative downstream impact of such a cap or elimination, including detrimental economic, health insurance coverage, and health outcomes. Employers should be aware of these impacts and outcomes as Congress continues to view healthcare tax benefits as a source of revenue to offset other tax credits and breaks, including those that Congress wants to extend as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (which is set to expire at the end of 2025).

Tax season is in full swing, and in this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle numerous listener tax questions with practical advice. They discuss the Section 121 exclusion for primary residences, explaining how married couples filing separately can each qualify for the $250,000 capital gains exclusion. They outline strategies for converting personal residences to rental properties using S-corporations and installment sales to maximize tax benefits. Amanda and Eliot clarify 401(k) withdrawal rules, explaining when penalties apply and options like the Rule of 55 and hardship withdrawals. You'll hear recommendations on optimal entity structures for real estate syndications, explanations of the short-term rental "loophole" for active income classification, and when to use trading partnerships versus simple LLCs for investment accounts. The episode concludes with a breakdown of key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions set to expire in 2025, including individual tax brackets, standard deduction changes, child tax credits, and bonus depreciation, highlighting potential impacts for taxpayers.   Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics:   "I understand that you can sell your primary residence and receive an exclusion from capital gains taxes on the first $250,000 if you're single and $500,000 if you're married filing jointly. However, I can't find any rules regarding if you're married filing separately. Could you please confirm if married filing separate also qualifies for the exclusion? Also, could you talk about how making improvements adds to the basis?" - Yes, both spouses filing separately can each get the $250,000 exclusion. Only one spouse needs to be on the title, but both must use it as a primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years. Improvements (new floors, additions, HVAC systems) add to your basis, which reduces taxable gain when you sell. "Can I use both cost segregation and bonus depreciation from an S-corp you sell your personal residence to for the Section 121 exemption? Also, what is the accounting treatment if you sold your personal residence to an S-corp using an installment sale?" - Yes to cost seg, no to bonus depreciation (not allowed for related-party transactions). For accounting, record the property as an asset on the S-corp with a liability for the note owed to you personally. You'll recognize all gain in year of sale (which is actually beneficial to utilize the Section 121 exclusion), and interest payments will be recorded as interest income. "Do I have to officially quit my job and be retired to take disbursements from my 401k? At what age can I take disbursements from my 401k? Are there any negative tax implications from taking early disbursements?" - You don't need to quit your job to take distributions if you're 59½ or older, though your specific plan may have different rules. Early withdrawals before 59½ incur a 10% penalty plus ordinary income tax, unless you qualify for exceptions like the Rule of 55 (if you leave your job at 55+) or hardship withdrawals for specific situations. "What is the best entity for tax purposes to invest in real estate syndications?" - A Wyoming LLC (disregarded) or partnership is typically best. This gives liability protection while letting income/losses flow directly to your personal return (important for using passive losses). Avoid S-Corps (reasonable wage requirements) and C-Corps (trap gains/losses on corporate return). "Regarding bonus depreciation and the short-term rental loophole, are either the 500 hours or 100 hours and, more than anyone else, material participation tests prorated for the year? For example, if a property is purchased and put into service in November, those hours would be difficult to achieve." - No, these hours are not prorated. You must meet the full hour requirements between purchase and December 31st. Consider using the "substantially all participation" test if you personally perform nearly all work needed, even if under 100 hours. "If I purchased an investment apartment and repaired windows, floors and incurred other miscellaneous expenses to make it ready for renters, can I write the expense off on my Schedule E? I didn't receive any income for that apartment as of yet." - You can only deduct expenses after the property is "placed in service" (available for rent). If not in service yet, these costs must be added to the property's basis and depreciated. The $2,500 de minimis rule lets you expense (not capitalize) individual purchases under $2,500, but only after the property is in service. "I'm starting to do wholesale investments. I'm still a W-2 employee, yet I will resign soon. Is it recommended that I start my LLC now, and why?" - Yes, start your LLC now for liability protection when entering contracts. Begin with a disregarded LLC in the state where you're wholesaling. Once established and generating consistent income, consider making an S-Corporation election to save on self-employment taxes. "I have a trading account, but I do not actively trade in it. Should I set up a trading partnership for it?" - If you're not actively trading, a simple Wyoming LLC for asset protection is sufficient. For active traders with significant expenses, consider the limited partnership structure with a C-Corporation general partner to shift some income and deduct expenses that aren't allowed on personal returns.
