This program was recorded during a live presentation on December 16, 2008.
For years several firms have promoted plans which allow entrepreneurs to use retirement plan assets to finance the purchase of franchises and other startup business. Most practitioners have viewed these arrangements with understandable skepticism. Finally, the IRS has issued a set of examination guidelines to deal with these transactions. Perhaps the acronym the IRS has chosen to use gives a good idea of how they view these arrangements: ROBS (Rollovers as Business Startups).
The guidelines do not rule these arrangements out per se. But they do provide a road map for IRS personnel to use in challenging them, focusing on nondiscrimination and prohibited transaction issues.
This Web seminar from December 16 will discuss these transactions and the potential problems they pose. We’ll look in depth at the guidelines and show you the problems, pitfalls, and potential of ROBS, so you can judge for yourself and advise your clients appropriately.
