Congress has passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. The new law also encompasses the SECURE 2.0 Act, with many retirement saving provisions that will phase in over several years. For example, the law permits a beneficiary of a 529 college savings account to make direct rollovers from a 529 account in his or her name to a Roth IRA without tax or penalty. This provides an option for 529 accounts that have a balance remaining after the beneficiary’s education is complete. The 529 account must have been open for more than 15 years and other rules apply. The provision is effective for distributions beginning in 2024.
