412(e)3 Plan – Owner Retirement – Options for Plan
Investment Advisor set up a 412(e)3 plan for his client years ago. The client is retiring on 12/31/21 and dissolving the entity.
The client has been given several options:
1. Rollover to a new tax-qualified annuity
2. Rollover to an existing tax-qualified annuity
3. Transfer ownership to the participant
The client would prefer option #3, but is asking if this option would trigger a taxable event.
They understand that the money is taxable when they begin to take annuitized payments in the future.
Thank you –
