A Charitable Remainder Trust is a split interest trust consisting of an income interest, which is paid to the donor or other beneficiary during the term of the trust, and a remainder interest, which is paid to the designated charity.

CRTs are especially useful when there is a large capital gain that pushes income above the threshold amount.

i.e. IRA Contributions
10. Who May Convert
2010

½ 2012
11. Mathematics of a Conversion
Example
Joe has $500,000 IRA growing at 8%
$500,000 of non-qualified liquid assets growing at 6%
Difference in growth rates used to reflect lack of income taxes
affecting IRA growth
Age 50
Convert or no Convert???
12. Comparison in 2030
Conversion No Conversion
Joe converts $500,000 IRA to Roth Joe doesn’t convert
IRA and pays the taxes with Non- After in 2010
IRA assets
Taxes of $225,000 state and Roth IRA worth $500,000
federal growing at 8%
Liquid Assets now worth
After in 2010
$500,000 6%
Roth IRA worth $500,000
growing at 8% In 2030
Liquid Assets now worth Roth IRA worth $2,330,478
$275,000 6% Non-Qualified worth
In 2030 $1,603,567
Roth IRA worth $2,330,478 Total is $3,934,046
Non-Qualified worth $881,962 Increase reflects built in Capital
Gains Tax Liability
Total is $3,212,440
13. Conversion
These are almost equal accounting for taxes
The big deal is if taxes raise in the future, since distributions
will be taxed at a higher tax
Although the conversion is a bust from the IRA owners
perspective if tax rates lower in the future
14. Comparison in 2050
Conversion Non-Conversion
IRA $10,862,260 IRA $3,777,396
Non-Qualified $2,828,572 Non-Qualified of
Total of $13,690,833 $5,142,858
Reinvested RMDs (now
non-qualified of
$4,020,364)
Total of $12,940,620
Decrease reflects that taxes
were paid on RMDs
15. Beneficiary 50 Year Old
Conversion Non-Conversion
IRA worth $10,862,260 IRA worth $3,777,396
By age 85, the Beneficiary By age 85, the Beneficiary
will have $60,097,460 in will have $11,494,527 in
distributions distributions
$2,828,572 in non- $5,695,259 in non-
qualified assets qualified assets
Assume all growth and Assume all growth and
income is distributed income is distributed
$11,180,310 by age 85 $18,110,433 by age 85
$71,277,770 total $29,604,960 total
16. Bottom Line
If Conversion Occurs, Inherited Roth IRA is far preferable
If wealthy clients have IRA or 401K that they don’t need,
and have sufficient liquid funds for conversion, they should
probably do it
17. Roth Conversion Option 3
Conversion occurs after clients death
Internal Revenue Notice 2008‐30 allows for a Roth
Conversion to occur after a clients death
Make sure the numbers work
You are using Non-Qualified Assets to pay taxes
Life Insurance???
18. Keep In Mind
For Estate Planning Purposes:
Best Scenario is Roth Conversion during lifetime
Second Best is No Conversion
Roth Conversion after Death???
