Thinking About Moving Your Retirement Savings?
OPTIONS FOR YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS Primerica Advisors Thinking About Moving Your Retirement Savings? If you are considering moving your retirement savings: • Out of an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or ERISA 403(b) plan (see Section I); or • By transferring your IRA, including a SIMPLE IRA, SEP, Traditional, or Roth, to a new broker/firm (see Section II); this brochure is intended to help you evaluate your options. These are important decisions that can have long-term consequences for your retirement savings and should only be made after careful consideration of all of the issues involved. That’s why we’ve created this educational brochure – to provide you with a guide to the points you should consider. Please read this brochure carefully so you understand all of your options, and then discuss it with your PFS Investments Inc. Registered Representative. We know you’ll find it helpful. If you are weighing the option of staying in a defined benefit plan (such as a pension plan) that provides a guaranteed income stream for life, or converting your benefits to another plan or IRA, you should do so carefully with the assistance of the resources provided by your employer. That is a special situation that these educational materials do not cover. OPTIONS FOR YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS FOUR OPTIONS FOR RETIREMENT PLAN SAVINGS When you leave an employer and have savings in your em- ployer’s retirement plan, you typically have four options for your plan savings. 1. Keep your savings in your previous employer’s plan (if the plan permits) 2. -
MAGI 2.0 Part 2: Income Counting
MAGI 2.0: Building MAGI Knowledge Part 2: Income Counting Last Updated: December 11, 2020 Introduction Setting the Stage 3 . In 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) updated a training manual originally developed in 2013 to help states and eligibility workers understand and apply Modified Adjust Gross Income (MAGI)-based rules for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The manual is available at https://www.medicaid.gov/state-resource-center/mac- learning-collaboratives/downloads/household-composition-and-income-training.zip. This MAGI 2.0: Building MAGI Knowledge slide deck serves as a companion to the Household and MAGI Income Training Manual, providing more details on how to apply the MAGI-based income counting rules. The issues and scenarios reviewed in this slide deck were developed in response to frequently asked technical assistance questions raised by states and revised based on updated guidance that was released.

Chapter 2: What's Fair About Taxes?
Hoover Classics : Flat Tax hcflat ch2 Mp_35 rev0 page 35 2. What’s Fair about Taxes? economists and politicians of all persuasions agree on three points. One, the federal income tax is not sim- ple. Two, the federal income tax is too costly. Three, the federal income tax is not fair. However, economists and politicians do not agree on a fourth point: What does fair mean when it comes to taxes? This disagree- ment explains, in large measure, why it so difficult to find a replacement for the federal income tax that meets the other goals of simplicity and low cost. In recent years, the issue of fairness has come to overwhelm the other two standards used to evaluate tax systems: cost (efficiency) and simplicity. Recall the 1992 presidential campaign. Candidate Bill Clinton preached that those who “benefited unfairly” in the 1980s [the Tax Reform Act of 1986 reduced the top tax rate on upper-income taxpayers from 50 percent to 28 percent] should pay their “fair share” in the 1990s. What did he mean by such terms as “benefited unfairly” and should pay their “fair share?” Were the 1985 tax rates fair before they were reduced in 1986? Were the Carter 1980 tax rates even fairer before they were reduced by President Reagan in 1981? Were the Eisenhower tax rates fairer still before President Kennedy initiated their reduction? Were the original rates in the first 1913 federal income tax unfair? Were the high rates that prevailed during World Wars I and II fair? Were Andrew Mellon’s tax Hoover Classics : Flat Tax hcflat ch2 Mp_36 rev0 page 36 36 The Flat Tax rate cuts unfair? Are the higher tax rates President Clin- ton signed into law in 1993 the hallmark of a fair tax system, or do rates have to rise to the Carter or Eisen- hower levels to be fair? No aspect of federal income tax policy has been more controversial, or caused more misery, than alle- gations that some individuals and income groups don’t pay their fair share. -
Your Federal Tax Burden Under Current Law and the Fairtax by Ross Korves
A FairTaxSM White Paper Your federal tax burden under current law and the FairTax by Ross Korves As farmers and ranchers prepare 2006 federal income tax returns or provide income and expense information to accountants and other tax professionals, a logical question is how would the tax burden change under the FairTax? The FairTax would eliminate all individual and corporate income taxes, all payroll taxes and self-employment taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax and replace them with a national retail sales tax on final consumption of goods and services. Payroll and self-employment taxes The starting point in calculating the current tax burden is payroll taxes and self-employment taxes. Most people pay more money in payroll and self-employment taxes than they do in income taxes because there are no standard deductions or personal exemptions that apply to payroll and self-employment taxes. You pay tax on the first dollar earned. While employees see only 7.65 percent taken out of their paychecks, the reality is that the entire 15.3 percent payroll tax is part of the cost of having an employee and is a factor in determining how much an employer can afford to pay in wages. Self-employed taxpayers pay both the employer and employee portions of the payroll tax on their earnings, and the entire 15.3 percent on 92.35 percent of their self-employed income (they do not pay on the 7.65 percent of wages that employees do not receive as income); however, they are allowed to deduct the employer share of payroll taxes against the income tax. -

Angelini and David G. Tuerck1 Executive Summary The U.S. corporate income tax is ripe for change – that’s what you will believe, anyway, if you follow the news as it relates to this subject. There is concern on the part of both major parties about the fact that the U.S. rate is the highest among OECD countries and that the U.S. policy of taxing corporations on a global, rather than a territorial, basis is causing trillions of dollars in corporate profits to be stranded in foreign banks. In this paper we describe how corporations and other business entities are taxed in the United States. We report statutory tax rates for the United States and other countries and discuss common U.S. corporate and business income tax avoidance schemes. We calculate an average effective tax rate for the United States and show how marginal effective tax rates affect investment decisions through their effects on the cost of capital. We report marginal effective tax rates for the United States and other countries and show how changes in statutory tax rates can affect investment, given different assumptions about the sensitivity of investment to changes in the cost of capital. -
