With the most recent update to TOTAL Planning Suite, the Inherited IRA feature has been updated to allow users to enter multiple Inherited IRAs. Each inherited IRA will have its own report page, so they can be entered in any pattern to illustrate even the most complex system of inherited IRAs.
In TOTAL there are 3 possible ages that RMDs appear on reports: 69, 70, or 71. This start age is dependent on the date the report is generated and the individual's date of birth. It can be difficult to explain how these situations arise without first looking at how report years work in TOTAL:
Annuities in TOTAL are typically represented as either Tax-Deferred Assets or as Other Income. Adding annuities to a plan is easy and even complex annuities can be modeled with TOTAL’s powerful features.
With the newest version of TOTAL Desktop advisors are now able to open a retirement projection graph during data entry. This graph allows advisors to actively see how each change affects a scenario.
New detailed cash flow reports are now available in TOTAL, allowing advisors to demonstrate year-by-year, line-by-line changes to income and expenses. The reports include a total age span of 10 years, broken into two reports each displaying a five year period. The start age for the detailed cash flow reports defaults to client 1's retirement age and can be adjusted to start at any age.
A new release of TOTAL is available now, featuring new detailed cash flow reports, allowing advisors to demonstrate year-by-year, line-by-line changes to income and expenses over a 10-year span. Learn about all the new features included in the latest release.
Converting a traditional IRA (or any other eligible retirement plan) to a Roth IRA is simple to illustrate in TOTAL by using the Monthly Additions/Withdrawals tab of the Asset Details input.
