A non-retirement Personal Investment Account is an investment opportunity outside our 403(b) and IRA programs.

It’s a way to invest your money outside of a retirement account without using a cash account such as savings, checking, or certificates of deposit. Account registration types include TOD Individual, TOD JTWROS, UTMA, Trust, and more. You can register more than one account type if you wish.

If you have a windfall of cash, an inheritance, proceeds from the sale of a property, required minimum distributions, or extra income you won’t need (for example, perhaps you don’t need to use the cash within the next five years or longer), a personal investment account might be for you. You may also use current holdings in a brokerage account depending on capital gains consequences.

There are three tax benefits to these types of investments.

  1. Pay income taxes at the lower capital gains rate on qualified dividends rather than ordinary income tax on interest income.
  2. Pay as you go on the earnings of your investments.
  3. For your heirs, there will be a “step-up in basis” to your date of death, which is the readjustment of the total value for tax purposes upon inheritance. The result is that your beneficiaries’ capital gains taxes are minimized.
