- SECURE 2.0 Act: Opportunities and Complications
Presented by: David M. Beck, CPA, QPA, ERPA, Senior ERISA Consultant, Summit Financial Group, Inc.
SECURE Act 2.0 adds substantial opportunities to increase retirement savings, including lucrative tax credits for new Plans and increased contribution limits. It also adds substantial complications, like a) super catch-ups (effective in 2025); and b) mandatory auto enrollment (effective in 2025 for newer Plans) and mandatory Roth Catch-ups (effective in 2026)—just to name a few. Auditors will need to be aware of these changes when planning their 2025 audits. During this session we will dive into the good, the bad and the ugly of SECURE 2.0 Act.
