Did you know?
If you are splitting up a 401(k) or individual retirement account (IRA) in divorce, you can transfer the money into another qualified retirement plan but you cannot take control of the money without paying taxes and possible early withdrawal penalties. We can help you find the right solutions for what do to with your financial settlement to reduce taxes.

It is important to remember that ‘winning’ ownership of the house, the vacation home, investments and retirement funds may feel comfortable at the time, but the tax consequences will be part of the judgment. You don’t get to keep the financial opportunity with paying the financial consequences.
