SHELTON, Conn., Jan. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RightCapital, the fastest-growing financial planning software* for financial advisors, released a software update today to incorporate key provisions in the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022.

The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) 2.0 Act was signed by President Joe Biden on Dec. 29, 2022. From Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age, catch-up contribution limits within workplace retirement plans, and Roth accounts, SECURE 2.0 introduces new planning opportunities to help American households save more toward retirement.

RightCapital has introduced the following updates to its financial planning software platform to make it seamless for financial advisors to deliver the most accurate, up-to-date financial plans for their clients:

• Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) — Effective Jan. 1, 2023, the RMD age has been raised to 73 for individuals born between 1951-1959, and to 75 for those born in 1960 or later.
• Roth 401(k) RMD — Beginning in 2024, RMDs are no longer required from Roth 401(k) accounts.
• Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) — Beginning in 2024, the maximum annual QCD of $100,000 will be indexed for inflation.
• 401(k)/SIMPLE IRA Catch-Up Contributions — For 401(k) plans, the catch-up contribution limit for individuals whose age is 60-63 in 2025 and later will be increased to $10,000. For SIMPLE IRA plans, the catch-up contribution limit for individuals whose age is 60-63 in 2025 and later will be increased to $5,000. RightCapital will make further adjustments to the catch-up contribution limits as more details become available.

RightCapital will be releasing additional SECURE 2.0-related changes in the coming weeks. To learn more, follow our SECURE Act 2.0 updates.
