Step 9 AA: When to Make Amends and When Not to FHE Health

I am very sorry for stealing money out of your desk in order to fund my drug habit last year. Remembering how I stole from you makes me sad and fills me with shame. While I did these things in active addiction, that does not take away from how wrong they were, and the pain and sense of betrayal you must have felt as a result of my actions. Sometimes it can be hard to know what to say when preparing to make amends.

• (c) Definition of eligible rollover distribution—(1) General rule.
• Ask your sponsor’s advice, start slow, and remember—you can go at your own pace.
• A’s account balance in Plan X is invested only in productive assets and was includible in A’s gross estate under section 2039.
• Make sure your doctor and other members of your medical team have copies.
• An annuity payment period may be changed in accordance with the reannuitization provisions set forth in paragraph (n)(2) of this section or in association with an annuity payment increase described in paragraph (o) of this section.

§1.367(a)-3 Treatment of transfers of stock or securities to foreign corporations.

A distribution from a designated Roth account may be rolled over only to another designated Roth account or to a Roth IRA. See §1.402A-1, Q&A-5 for rules that apply to such a rollover. (ii) Section 242(b)(2) election made under transferee plan.

§1.401(a)( -0 Required minimum distributions; table of contents.

If this paragraph (d) applies, then the determination of whether a person is a beneficiary of the surviving spouse is made using the rules of paragraph (c) of this section, except that the date of the surviving spouse’s death is substituted for the date of the employee’s death. Thus, a person is a beneficiary if, as of the date of the surviving spouse’s death, that person is a beneficiary designated under the plan and remains a beneficiary as of September 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year of the surviving spouse’s death. Except as otherwise provided in §1.401(a)(9)-6(j) (relating to defined benefit plans subject to limitations under section 436), distributions satisfy this paragraph (b)(2) if the employee’s entire interest is distributed by the end of the calendar year that includes the fifth anniversary of the date of the employee’s death. For example, if an employee dies on any day in 2022, then in order to satisfy the 5-year rule in section 401(a)(9)(B)(ii), the entire interest generally must be distributed by the end of 2027.

• If the employee and the employee’s spouse are married on January 1 of a distribution calendar year, but do not remain married throughout that year (that is, the employee or the employee’s spouse dies or they become divorced during that year), the employee will not fail to have a spouse as the employee’s sole beneficiary for that year merely because they are not married throughout that year.
• Deathbed promises are a common way people make living amends.
• The comment also argued, however, that the only type of adjustments permitted under the anti-abuse rule are adjustments that increase S’s earnings and profits and, moreover, that the anti-abuse rule may impose those adjustments only if they bear on the P acquisition, because the P acquisition is the only type of transaction that can be “in connection with” an applicable triangular reorganization.
• Consequently, the post-’86 account balance includes earnings after December 31, 1986, on contributions made before January 1, 1987, in addition to the contributions made after December 31, 1986, and earnings thereon.

Instead, these regulations provide a timing rule that applies on a yearly basis and only if the special rule on the catch-up of hypothetical required minimum distributions would apply to the IRA owner’s surviving spouse had a distribution been made directly to the surviving spouse in the calendar year. In addition, these regulations provide that, even if the timing rule otherwise applies, a surviving spouse may still make an election to treat an IRA as the surviving spouse’s own IRA, but only if that election does not apply to amounts in the IRA that would be treated as required minimum distributions pursuant to §1.402(c)-2(j)(4)(ii) had they been distributed in that calendar year. Thus, the election living amends definition can be made only in a calendar year after the amounts treated as required minimum distributions under §1.402(c)-2(j)(4)(ii) for that calendar year have been distributed from the IRA. Several commenters requested that the final regulations eliminate the special rule for distributions to surviving spouses. In support of that request, commenters point to the absence of a similar rule in the statute (both pre- and post-SECURE Act). Other commenters argued that plan administrators would not have the knowledge of whether a beneficiary was rolling over a distribution to their own IRA or to a beneficiary IRA and accordingly, what portion of that distribution is an eligible rollover distribution.

Under section 457(d)(2), a plan must meet the minimum distribution requirements of section 401(a)(9). See section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder for these requirements. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, if an eligible plan is subject to the rules of §1.401(a)(9)-5, then the plan must meet the requirements of section 401(a)(9)(H). The preceding sentence applies to an eligible plan maintained by any eligible employer (including an eligible plan of a tax-exempt entity). For purposes of determining the required minimum distribution from an IRA for any calendar year, the account balance of the IRA as of December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which distributions are required to be made is substituted for the account balance of the employee under §1.401(a)(9)-5(b).

(B) Any beneficiary of an accumulation trust that could receive amounts in the trust representing the employee’s interest in the plan that were not distributed to beneficiaries described in paragraph (f)(3)(i)(A) of this section. (iii) Disability defined for individual who is not age 18 or older. An individual who, as of the date of the employee’s death, is not age 18 or older is disabled if, as of that date, that individual has a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that results in marked and severe functional limitations and that can be expected to result in death or to be of long-continued and indefinite duration.

• A beneficiary described in the preceding sentence is referred to as a primary beneficiary in this Summary of Comments and Explanation of Revisions.
• See §1.403(b)-7(b) for guidance concerning the direct rollover requirements for distributions from annuities described in section 403(b).
• We do not and have never accepted fees for referring someone to a particular center.
• In contrast, if that designated beneficiary died before that effective date, then the amendments made by section 401 of the SECURE Act do not apply with respect to the employee’s interest under the plan.
• If the alternate payee dies after distribution of the alternate payee’s separate account has begun (determined under §1.401(a)(9)-2(a)(3)) but before the employee dies, distribution of the remaining portion of that portion of the benefit allocated to the alternate payee must be made in accordance with the rules in §1.401(a)(9)-5(c) or §1.401(a)(9)-6(a) for distributions during the life of the employee.

However, consistent with requests made by commenters, the regulations remove the requirement for a full distribution by the end of the calendar year in which the applicable denominator would have been less than or equal to one if it were determined using the beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy (which would have applied in the case of a designated beneficiary who was older than the employee). Accordingly, in the case of an eligible designated beneficiary who was born before the employee, if that beneficiary is taking distributions over the employee’s remaining life expectancy, then a full distribution is not required until the calendar year in which the applicable denominator is less than or equal to one. The proposed regulations reflected the exception for a qualified annuity (that is, an annuity contract for which an employee made an irrevocable election as to the method and the amount of the annuity payments before December 20, 2019) described in section 401(b)(4) of the SECURE Act. One commenter raised questions regarding whether the requirements for an irrevocable election as to the method and amount of annuity payments under the contract meant that the contract loses its exception from the application of section 401(a)(9)(H) merely because the contract permits additional premiums to be paid or permits the annuitant to select when distributions under the contract commence.

(xi) Similar items designated by the Commissioner in revenue rulings, notices, and other guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. (B) The investment gains and losses attributable to assets held in each of those separate accounts are allocated only to that separate account. (B) Met the requirements of A-15 of 26 CFR 1.401(a)(9)-6 (as it appeared in the April 1, 2021, edition of 26 CFR part 1). (2) Adjustment for subsequent allocations and distributions.

• The comment claimed that the anti-abuse rule has a narrow application that is limited to scenarios described by the one example in §1.367(b)-10(d) of the 2011 Final Regulations.
• Section 1.402(c)-2(j)(4) of the 2024 final regulations sets forth a special rule under which a portion of a distribution to certain surviving spouses (that is, the portion of the distribution that represents a catch-up of missed hypothetical required minimum distributions) is treated as a required minimum distribution that is not eligible for rollover.
• A section 403(b) contract that is part of a governmental plan (within the meaning of section 414(d)) is treated as having complied with section 401(a)(9) for all years to which section 401(a)(9) applies to the contract, if the terms of the contract reflect a reasonable, good faith interpretation of section 401(a)(9).
• Now, whether it is an apology, a want for forgiveness, or an amends, that person isn’t here and it makes it hard to imagine any of those things are possible.
• This paragraph (e) applies for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
• Many who lived with addiction have past behaviors they’re not proud of.

For example, substantially equal periodic payments made under a life annuity with a five-year term certain would not be an eligible rollover distribution even when paid after the death of the employee with three years remaining under the term certain. (ii) Rollover of basis to qualified trust must be done through direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. If an eligible rollover distribution includes some or all of an employee’s basis, then the portion of an eligible rollover distribution that is allocable to the employee’s basis may be rolled over to a qualified plan only through a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. In that case, the qualified trust or annuity contract must provide for separate accounting of the amount transferred (and earnings on that amount) including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution that includes an employee’s basis and the portion of the distribution that does not include basis. Thus, when payments described in this paragraph (p)(1) become payable to the surviving spouse because the child attains the age of majority, there is not an increase in benefits under paragraph (a) of this section.
