"If a loan is issued with a commercially unreasonable rate of interest. How is this a violation of IRC 72(p) that would provide for the authority to deem the loan? If your answer is it results in a violation of substantially level amortization, please provide your reasoning."

"Can anyone explain why IRA custodians request the 'first year of Roth' when a Roth 401(k) is rolled over to a Roth IRA? The 5-year clock starts over when Roth funds are rolled over from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA. Besides the fact that I also don't understand WHY the clock starts over, why is this data collected?"

"How can I use a QDRO to receive Alimony arrears, and if my ex-spouse retirement plan does not have a high enough account balance, what are some other immediate ways I can receive payment for my Alimony Arrears? Also, as I mentioned I have arrears, but based on my court order, Alimony ended June of 2011. I know it is not possible to file for an extension of alimony once the term is over of alimony payments, but my question is: would I eligible to file for an extension of alimony because there are Arrears to be paid, and thus my Alimony term is still considered "Active." Please note that a Judge issued a new order in October reaffirming my rights for alimony and ordered that "all terms and provisions of Judgement of Absolute Divorce are in Full Force and Effect.""

"So, employer does binding resolution to terminate plan as of (x) date, no new contributions, etc., etc. Notification to employees is sent, specifying that date as the effective date of the plan termination. However, PLAN was not amended to terminate by that (x) date. Arguably, the resolution can suffice, at least temporarily, to legitimately establish plan termination date, and plan can subsequently be formally amended to terminate, update for SECURE, etc.? Or is that a hard no? We always do plan amendment by the day before the formal termination date, but I believe that facts and circumstances can allow otherwise if the resolution, notification to employees, etc., are sufficiently detailed."
