Explain the process/taxation for an sale using NUA.
- To qualify as NUA it must be a full distribution of the account including employer securities. If that is met, the securities must be rolled into a a separate brokerage account
- OI will always be taxed at the amount put into the account by the employer (the basis)
- For the LTCG treatment, if qualified the FMV at the time of distribution will be placed into a bucket until you sell (deferred tax bc you might get more)
- When you sell from the brokerage, the holding period is based on when you placed the securities into the account/sold them. If LTCG we can add it to our NUA of LTCG. Could be short term, therefore we would have LTCG on the amount rolled over (the bucket of NUA) and STCG based on the difference of the price.
Give the main highlights of a simple IRA
- EE contributions allowed. 13,500/3,000 for catchup
- ER must give either 2% flat NEC contribution (based on 290K) OR 3% match (no cap on comp)
- IF you move your money within the first 2 years of being in the plan you must pay a 25% penalty
- Only can be established by a company with less than 100 EEs (no age requirement/must earn 5K per year)
- Not that a simple 401k can have loans but IRA can’t
Give the main highlights of a SEP
- ER Money ONLY
- Discretionary contribution but must be given to everyone
- Worst plan for part time EEs bc you only need to make $600 per year and work for 1 hour to be eligible
- 100% vested contribution bc IRA. Contribution is limited to lesser of 25% of pay or 58,000 max
- Due date of contribution is 4/15 but can be extended to 10/15

Your clients purchased a home one year ago. They financed $150,000 at 5.5% for 20 years. In four years they will have 15 years remaining on their mortgage. Your clients anticipate that interest rates may fall. If they are able to refinance their home at that time at 5% interest for 15 years, what will their total savings be?
5,976
Step One: calculate the monthly payment
PV = 150,000
N = 240 (20 × 12)
I = .45833 (5.5/12)
FV = 0
Solve for PMT = 1031.83
Step Two: solve for remaining balance in 4 years (15 years will remain)
PMT = 1031.83
N = 180 (15 × 12)
I = .45833 (5.5/12)
FV = 0
PV = 126,282.08 (note: the balance owed on a mortgage is always the present value of all of the remaining cash flows)
Step Three: Solve for the payment assuming the refinance at 5%
PV = 126,282.08 (This is the mortgage balance with 15 years remaining)
N = 180 (15 × 12)
I = .41667 (5/12)
FV = 0
Solve for PMT = 998.63
Step Four: Solve for savings
180 payments will remain on original mortgage (180 × 1031.83 = 185,729.40)
180 payments will remain on refinance (180 × 998.63 = 179,753.40)
Savings from refinance = 185,729.40 – 179,753.40 = 5,976
Explain the calc on a residual benefit for disability.
Example:
Your client has just become disabled for the long term. She works for a major corporation and makes $12,000 per month. Several years ago she purchased an own occupation policy that will pay 60% of monthly wages. The policy has a 90-day elimination period. The policy also has a residual disability benefit that will compensate her, should she return to work at reduced earnings. Your client has paid the premiums for this policy with after-tax dollars. After being totally disabled for 12 months, she is able to return to work. However, she continues to be “residually disabled” and returns to work in a different capacity and at a lower salary. In her present position she earns $5,000 per month
The benefit is the lost income as a % of the pre-loss incomes * the monthly disability
For the example 12K - 5K = 7K lost income, 7k/12k = .583
The monthly benefit is currently 7,200 (60% of $12K). From there we take the % of the residual and apply it to the 7,200 for the reduce payment while the client returns to work = 4,200 per month.
All payments won’t be taxable since the client paid with after tax $.
Note: Most policies will require a loss of income from 20-25% from prior monthly before paying a residual difference
Tell me what this means:
300/500/300 split liability limits
Bodily injury per person/bodily injury coverage per accident/property damage
So, it’s 300,000 per person, but not more than 500,000 in total for the accident, plus up to 300,000 of property damage
So the example was a multi car pile up but the coverage will pay a max of 500,000 in total bc it’s 1 occurrence.
Detail the befits to a revocable (also called intervivos!) living trust.
A revocable living trust is primarily established so that the trust assets avoid the probate process and provides for management of assets and grantor trust income tax status. The trust assets will transfer per the trust document and will not need to pass through probate. A revocable living trust does not reduce a grantor’s gross estate. The assets of a revocable living trust are included in a grantor’s gross estate at the fair market value at the grantor’s date of death.
No savings on the tax just a method to avoid probate
Explain the at risk vs the passive loss deduction for passive property.
Example question: Jim invests as a limited partner in XYZ partnership (his only activity) and pays $150,000 for a 10% interest. He receives a K-1, which allocates an $80,000 loss to him. How much of his loss is suspended under the passive activity rules?
Dalton sets it up as a 2 step funnel. The first step is looking at how much you have “at risk”. So you invest 150K you can only lose that 150K. For the example, the K1 is based on his actual loss so 80,000 will pass through 1st test.
The next funnel is the passive loss. The 80K will go in but the suspension will depend on the amount of losses you have that year. So if you have nothing to offset the full amount will be suspended. So 80K is suspended under the passive activity rules
Requirements for an individual investor to qualify for passive activity loss
We are talking about the 25K deduction one is allowed to take:
- Participant must actively participate. Meaning taking caring of the grounds/porperty. Different from material as that’s not required. Material focuses on the 500 hour test.
- Must own at least 10% of the value of real estate
- Must have AGI less than 150K or else you have the phase out starting at 100K (130K-100K/2 = deduction example)
Note if you material participate that’s not a passive loss so you will be entitled to deduction of your loss at risk. The remaining amount will be suspended. But note you don’t need to offset just a deduction for your contribution
More to add to this card but tell me about a 2503(c) trust
Crummey powers are found in irrevocable life insurance trusts. The purpose of the 2503(c) trust is to reduce income tax to the grantor by naming a minor beneficiary. Income must be used for the benefit of the minor.
Tell me how to solve this problem:
XYZ company anticipates paying the following dividends, starting next year: Year 1: 2.25 Year 2: 2.75 Year 3: 3.01 After the third year, they anticipate dividends growing at 6%. If Diego’s required rate of return is 12%, how much would he be willing to pay for this stock?
Step #1: Apply the constant growth dividend formula to value the stock as of year 3. V = 3.01(1.06) ÷ (.12 - .06) V = 53.18. Bc it anticipates a growth moving forward.
Next, we need to figure out the value currently. We only have the next 3 years.
Step #2: Use uneven cash flows to determine the NPV of the stock at time period zero (today). CF0 = 0 CF1 = 2.25 CF2 = 2.75 CF3 = 3.01 + 53.18 = 56.19 I = 12 NPV = ? Answer: $44.20
Keeping the dividends rolling. How would you answer this question:
XYZ company paid a dividend of $3.00 this year and anticipates the dividend to grow each year by: Year 1: 5% Year 2: 7% Year 3: 8% After the third year, they anticipate dividends growing at 6%. If Sydney’s required rate of return is 10%, how much would she be willing to pay for this stock?
Step #1: Determine the dividend to be paid each year.
Year 1: 3.00 × (1.05) = 3.15
Year 2: 3.15 × (1.07) = 3.37
Year 3: 3.37 × (1.08) = 3.64
Step #2: Apply the constant growth dividend formula to value the stock as of year 3. V = 3.64 (1.06) ÷ (.10 - .06) V = 96.46
Step #3: Use uneven cash flows to determine the NPV of the stock at time period zero (today). CF0 = 0 CF1 = 3.15 CF2 = 3.37 CF3 = 3.64 + 96.46 = 100.10 I = 10 NPV = ? Answer: $80.86
Estate Tax Formula
Gross Estate - Allowable Deductions = Adjusted Gross Estate -State Death Tax Deduction -Marital Deduction -Charitable Deduction =Taxable Estate \+pst 1976 adjusted taxable gifts =Tentative Tax Base

How to calc the taxation of social security benefits
Single: 0-25K = 0% 25-32 = 50% 32-up = 85%
MFJ: 0-32K = 0% 32-44 = 50% 44-up = 85%
Remember this is based on MAGI + 1/2 of the SS payments. The tax won’t just be based on the payments you currently receiving
