Felicia Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Can Title I 403(B) assets be held under a trust agreement or are they required to be held in only annuities or under custodial accounts? Cites would be VERY helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol V. Calhoun Posted February 11, 2001 Share Posted February 11, 2001 In general, they must be held in an annuity or custodial account. This requirement comes from section 403(B) itself. The beginning language refers only to an annuity. Section 403(B)(7) provides that a custodial account will be treated as if it were an annuity under certain circumstances. The one exception is that at one point, the IRS apparently permitted certain state qualified plans to also incorporate 403(B) features, even though the statute did not provide for this. This is no longer permitted, but there were a few plans grandfathered when IRS made the change.
