About this episode
Chris’s Summary: Jim’s back from his conference and Jake joined the show again this week as we tackled the latest Ed Slott quiz. Unlike last time, Jim didn’t give us the book to reference—so Jake and I were going in cold. Jim also decided to test ChatGPT by giving it the entire quiz and the manual. With all that information, the AI was still imperfect. While seeing if we could outscore both the AI and each other, we covered Inherited IRA RMD rules, SECURE Act 2.0, self-certification for disability, Roth 401(k) rules, and spousal consent for IRA beneficiaries. Jim’s “Pithy” Summary: It’s time for another Ed Slott IRA quiz, and this time, I decided to put both AI and my co-hosts to the test. Before the show, I handed the entire quiz—along with the Ed Slott manual—to ChatGPT to see if it could finally outscore us mere humans. Turns out, even with all that information, AI still flunked five questions. So, while the robots might be getting smarter, they’ve still got a long way to go before they can challenge a real retirement planner. Chris and Jake joined me as we tackled some tricky questions on Inherited IRA RMDs, Roth 401(k) surprises, SECURE Act curveballs, and even some quirky beneficiary rules. To make things more interesting, I made sure they had no book, no notes—just their wits. And, of course, I had the pleasure of revealing exactly where the AI got it wrong (which, let’s be honest, was just as fun as answering the questions). Along the way, we covered why certain Inherited IRA RMD rules have changed, how Roth 401(k)s can still trip people up, and why SECURE Act provisions aren’t always as straightforward as they seem. Plus, we had some fun debating the bizarre quirks of beneficiary designations—because apparently, even the IRS likes to keep us guessing. Think you can outscore AI? Maybe even outscore Chris and Jake? Play along and see how you do! The post IRA Rules Quiz: EDU #2511 appeared first on The Retirement and IRA Show .
