PLEASANTON, CA – ATUL C. DUBAL, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, PRUDENT PROSPERA PLANNING, INC completed his semiannual training with America’s IRA Experts at Ed Slott and Company, LLC by participating in a workshop on October 20-21, 2022. The invite-only workshop was attended by members of Ed Slott’s Elite IRA Advisor Group^SM; it provided in-depth technical training on advanced retirement account planning strategies, tax law changes, and estate planning techniques. The workshop also featured a SECURE ACT update since the IRS released 2022 proposed regulations earlier this year that provides guidance on many parts of the law.

“When the IRS issued their proposed regulations for the SECURE Act, it was essentially the final nail in the coffin for using IRAs for wealth transfer or estate planning.” said Ed Slott, CPA, founder of Ed Slott and Company, AARP columnist, Professor of Practice at The American College of Financial Services^® and nationally recognized IRA Expert who was named “The Best Source for IRA Advice” by The Wall Street Journal.  “While these regulations have little effect on clients during their lives, it can have a big impact on the backend if their advisor fails to implement the right tax-saving strategies,” he continued. “I commend Atul Dubal for continuously prioritizing his education throughout this ever-changing retirement planning landscape. He is going above and beyond to deliver informed and accurate financial guidance to his clients at a time when it’s needed most. With this ongoing training, Atul can offer the latest insight on any necessary updates one may need now and into the future.”

Training highlights from this event include:

• A detailed look at 2022 required minimum distribution (RMDs) including updates on determining required beginning dates (RBDs) and the “still working” exception
• A comprehensive IRA update on the latest IRA tax laws changes, new tax strategies, rulings, court cases, and planning opportunities
• A special presentation by Vicki Rackner MD, principal of Engaging Doctors on how financial advisors can better serve doctors

The workshop also included an in-depth look at helping clients navigate key rollover decisions and walked attendees through a step-by-step evaluation process to help determine whether it’s best to roll over, stay put, or withdraw. Guest speaker Kirsten M. Lewis, Esq. with The Bowden Law Firm, LLC gave a presentation on best practice tips when advising families with special needs beneficiaries, while guest speaker Shannon L. Evans, J.D., presented strategies to avoid IRA trust disasters.

The training was provided by Ed Slott and Company’s team of retirement experts, including Ed Slott, CPA; Sarah Brenner, JD; Andy Ives, CFP^®, AIF^®; Ian Berger, JD; and Shannon Evans, Esq.
