We offer a desktop planning tool that will assist you in planning for Early
(72(t) & 72(q)) Distributions, Required Minimum Distributions and
Beneficiary IRA Distributions.
Version 2 Released
New features in version 2 of the yyyZ Tools programs include the ability to print all reports directly to a PDF report file and the ability when illustrating a SEPP to switch to the Minimum Distribution from the Annuity or Amortization methods on any year after the first plan year.
11/20/2007 - Version 2.7.11.15 changes include the ability to assume that the initial payment (for projected values) is a pro-rata payment.
For all reports that include projected values, the first year starts with the date of the first distribution and ends on 12/31 of the same year. Years 2 and later assume full calendar year projections.
Our IRA Distribution Planning Software contains modules that allow your to
prepare reports detailing four planning scenarios:
- Pre-Age 59.5 Substantially Equal Periodic Payment [SEPP] plans subject to
Revenue Ruling 2002-62 and Notice 2004-15. This module allows annual
recalculation of distributions based on a PLR issued on May 11, 2004.
-
Age 70.5 Minimum Distribution Stretch Plans - distribution reports for the IRA owner and the beneficiary. If the Designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse, the third section is for the spouse's beneficiary. Beneficiary status codes include: 1) No Designated Beneficiary; 2) Individual, Non-Spouse Beneficiary; and 3) Spouse Beneficiary with No Rollover (continues original IRA); and 4) Spouse Beneficiary assuming ownership with rollover to personal account.
- Beneficiary IRA Calculations for Stretch Plans - allows you to do current year and projected year-by-year reports for a Beneficiary IRA - after the death of the owner. Beneficiary status codes include: 1) No Designated Beneficiary; 2) Individual, Non-Spouse Beneficiary; and 3) Spouse Beneficiary with No Rollover.
All client files are stored in a database and any client can have an almost unlimited number of planning associated scenarios - about the only limit is disk space on your computer. All reports have been formatted for easy client presentation.
Reports can be generated from your desktop, or if needed, from the protected area of our web site. If you use the web site, the reports are prepared in PDF format. These PDF reports can be saved to your computer, printed to your printer or emailed directly to your client. Both the desktop reports and the web reports are identical since the same engines create both. And, both the desktop and web versions also import the current maximum 120% mid-term rate from the Internet.
System Requirements: Windows platform operating with Win2000, WinXP or Win2003.
These programs also require Microsoft .Net 2.0 which is a free upgrade from
http://WindowsUpdate.Microsoft.Com - we have also included the .Net framework with the demo download.
