CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER CERTIFICATION PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMRetirement Planning & Employee Benefits Session 7NUA Fundamentals and Keogh Contributions
Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) • NUA treatment is available for any employer stock distributed from a qualified plan • Stock bonus, ESOPs, 401(k) profit sharing, are all qualified plans, so the NUA rules would apply • An advantage of NUA is that it is taxed as a long-term capital gain, not as ordinary income
NUA Example Josephine, age 53, takes a distribution on March 1, 2014, of 3,000 shares of company stock. Her cost basis is $65,000 (the amount of employer contributions) and the stock is worth $255,000 when distributed. She sells all 3,000 shares on July 15, 2014, for $270,000. Ramifications are: • $65,000 taxed as ordinary income, and subject to 10% penalty tax • $190,000 NUA taxed as a long-term capital gain • $15,000 additional gain taxed as a short-term capital gain (if held for more than one year from distribution date, then any additional gain would be long-term)
Keogh Plans—Basic Provisions • Available only to unincorporated businesses—sole proprietor or partnership • Takes the form of a qualified plan (defined contribution or defined benefit) • Certain provisions for owner/employee are unique to Keoghs: • Owner/employee’s contribution is calculated on net earnings • Lump-sum distribution treatment is not available to owner/employee for separation from service before age 59½—available only for death, disability, or attainment of age 59½
