New Required Minimum Distribution Rules Clarification

Submitted by Trott Brook Financial on January 17th, 2020

One of the major subjects receiving attention is changes to the required minimum distribution rules. I discussed some of these changes in December but would like to revisit this to correct one thing and clarify another.

Known as the “Secure Act,” most of the changes are being welcomed positively, although a few are being looked at like lumps of coal.
