PageA2 BUSINESS The Daily Sentinel Tuesday, December 7, 2004 ' Be aware of retirement funds distribution rules . Retirement plan distribulion _rutes. are quite. complex. makmg tt more Important than ever to carefully decide on what you will do with your money before your employer cuts you a check. If you are a recipient of a retirement plan distribution, there are four choices with respect to accumulated balances in qualified retirement plans. First, if your employer allows, you may choose to leave the funds in your emr.Ioyer's retirement plan unul a future date,· however, . if you have over $5,000 in your employer's plan, they must allow it. Most plans will allow you to come back at any time an~ ask for your accumulated balance or to begin taking mandatory withdrawals upon reaching the age of 70- 1/2. Second, you may have your retirement plan assets rolled directly to an IRA accourit. The distribution will be rolled directly and it will be reported to the IRS on Form 1i 099 as a distribution. The rece1vmg IRA rollover account trustee/custodian will report that a rollover contribution has been made on Form 5498, which is required to be sent to both you and the IRS by May 31. Therefore, the distribution report is canceled out by the contribution report, so no tax IS currently owed. Your employer will have to supply an_ election notice to you wtthm a reasonable time before your retirement distribution is due to be paid. You will then instruct your employer with respett to the distribution. This sort of "direct rollover" can be accomplished either by the company sending the assets directly to the IRA trustee, or by having the distribution check made payable to that institution. If you are going to work for another employer who offers a plan, you have a third option. Some employer-sponsored plans will allow employees to rollover their other retirement plan assets into the new plan. Beginning in 2002, "pension portability" legislation has made the rules much more flexible, so check with your new employer if you are interested. Your fourth choice is to ask for a check in the amount of the retirement plan distribution. If you elect to receive the distribution in cash, your employer IS reqUired to withhold 20 percent of the amount for taxes . This means, for example, that if you are due $100,000 in a lump sum, you will receive a check for $80,000. When you file your income · tax return at the end of the year, you may be required to pay additional tax on the dis- Bryce Smith tribution (in excess of the 20 percent you already paid). If you were 50 years old or older a~ of Jan. I, 1986, you may be eligible for favorable tax trea tment sue h as 10 -year averaging. Otherwise, taxation at your ordinary income tax rate, plus a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty may apply. If you choose the fourth option, you may still roll the dtstribution into an eligible receiving plan such as an IRA or another qualified retirement plan provided you do so within 60 days of the distribution. In this case, 100 percent of the distribution. that is the full $100,000 in our example, will be reported as taxable on the 1099. In order to avoid this taxation, the full $100,000 musr be rolled over. This means you will have to add back the 20 percent that was withheld out of pocket to rnjlke the distribution complete: The 20 percent that was withheld can then be "recaptured" when the tax return is filed for that year. Or, a portion of your distnbution can be rolled over. If, as in our example, you roll over only the $80,000 you actually receive, the $80,000 would not be subject to taxes until 'withdrawn from the rollover account. Since the 20 percent or $20,000 that was withheld was not rolled over, it will be subject to ordinary income tax plus penalties, if applicable. You can "recapture" the part of the 20 percent that is not really owed for taxes h f'l w en you 1 e your tax return. If h you ave company stock in your retirement plan, there are different tax implications you may want to explore before making any decision. See your tax advi ser for more details. What does all this mean to people who expect to receive retirement plan distributions? Decisions about their distributions will have to be made before the check is actually cut. It also means that both emp loyers and employees must be more. aware of all the alternatives available. Your llnancial adviser can provide information on the best course of action in your individual case.

I just figured I'd moan to myself." Robiskie didn't gtve htmself any down time following Cleveland' 42-15 loss to New England. As he does after every game, he was in his offtce late Sunday night reviewing game tape. What was different for Robtskte was having to publicly rehash what transpired in hts ftrSt game smce taking over for Butch Davis, who resigned last week. After sitling down m front of the medta, Robiskie was asked how he's feeling. "I'm alive," said Robtskte, whose prevwus stint as a head coach was m 2000 tor Washmgton. "I'm beaten, battered and bruised, but we're still alive." But the Browns' · pulse is barely detectable. And with four games left, there is little more to do than find out how good rookie quarterback Luke McCown is and whtch players are worth keeping next year. There's also the matter of who will be Cleveland's next coach. If players have thetr say, Robiskie, the offensive coordinator, will be the leading candidate. Since he took over, the air around the Browns has changed - for the better. The players are upbeat, loose and willing to do whatever they can to make sure Robiskie stays in place as their coach. "There's a totally different atmosphere," tackle Ross Verba said Sunday "It's a feeling that I like. If I could have it like this, just this whole feeling and play six more years, I'd love to be a part of that." Verba has been most impressed with the way Robiskie connects wtth his players and his candor. "Everything he exemplifies as a head coach, I want to be a part of," Verba said. "He exemplifies loyalty, integrity, and keeping it real. He'll sit down with you and say, 'OK, thts 1s what you're paid to do and what we expect you to do. If you don't do it, we're going to cut you.' He tells you like it is." William Green found that out firsthand on Sunday. Early in the third quarter, Green's fumble was returned for a touchdown, giving the Patriots a 21-point lead and endmg any remote chance the Browns had of a comeback. It was Green's final carry. Robiskie benched htm m favor of rookie Adimchinobe Echemandu. ·Although it appeared that Robis~ie was sending Green a message, he satd that it was more coincidence and that the coaches were eager to see what Echemandu could do "I was not trying to send a message that hey, I won't tolerate it," he said. "I wasn't trying to send a message, but I'll send a message: If you fumble It, we won't let you play. That's not a hidden secret." For the moment, Robiskie is keeping quiet about who he 'II start at quarterback on Sunday in Buffalo.

Progress in·talks, but no deal BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press NEW YORK - Baseball players and owners . have maoe progress toward toughening rules on steroid testing but still have not reached an agreement. Commissioner Bud Selig. who has called for more frequent testing and harsher penalties, told Colorado Gov. Bill Owens two weeks ago that an agreement was near. Owens said Monday. Gene Orza, the union's chief operating otlicer, said that while the discussions toward a new agreement had advanced, there was more work to be done. "We've had a series of discussions with clubs. and m many respects they've been fruitful." he said Monday after the union opened its annual executive board meeting.."But to suggest we have a deal that either is going to be ratified by the executive board this week or is going to be put in place shortly is simply not right." Orza said discussions will continue. Selig wants tougher rules in place by opening day. "I won' t say we ' re a long ways away," Orza said of an agreement. "I don' t want to say it's not possible. I just can't guarantee it." Currently, players are tested once from the start of spring training through the end of the regular season. Selig wants additional tests, some in the offseason. and more substances added to the banned list. Under the agreement in place, scheduled to run until December 2006. players do not face suspensions until their second positive test for steroids. In the wake of reports that Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield told a federal grand jury they used steroids, Sen. John McCain has threatened to propose fed- era! legislation that would override the drug-testing provisions in baseball's collectiw bargaining agreement. Owens called Selig two weeks ago, telling him Colorado could enact its own steroid rules for players visiting Coors Field, "As a big fan, I told him something needed to be done." Owens said. "He said they were close to reaching an agreement.'' Owens hosts a monthly sports and highlights show on a regional network . " It's clear some of them don't want this," he said of players. "The union has been dragging its feet for reasons that are hard to understand.'' Selig had surgery Monday in New York to remove a cancerous lesion from his forehead and was not available for comment on Owens· remarks. Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, dedined to comment on the talks. "If we cannot re.solve this issue privately. I gladly will accept whatever help is offered by Senator McCain to achieve our ultimate goal," Selig said in a statement Monday. "I appreciate the support of Senator McCain," Selig said, adding that the "illegal use of these substances is damaging" baseball's credibility. "Perhaps, most damaging, it encourages our young fans to use these horrible substances." Selig said. "While I would prefer to resolve this problem directly with the players' association and jointly implement a much stronger drug-testing policy in major league baseball, one modeled after our program 111 the minor leagues, I understand the need for swift and resolute action." Reporters were barred from the lobby by Roy al Palms Resort and Spa. preventing them from having access to must players at the meeting. "We committed to them that we would provide a quiet. intimate location for their meeting. ami that 's what we 've committed to do," Greg Miller. the hotel's general manager, said.' Union spokesman Greg Bouris said the decision was made hy the hotel. "They're just trying tu respect the privacy of their guests, I would assume," Bouris said. After arriving at the hotel , Rich Aurilia declined to comment. Reached on his cell phone, even the usually talkative Curt Schilling refused to discuss steroids. Baseball didn 't ban steroids until Sept. 30. 2002, and testing for steroids with penalties started only this year. Each player is tested once from the sturt of spnng training through the end of the regular season, and a first positive test results in counseling. A player who tests positive a second time could be suspended for 15 days, and discipline rises to a one-year suspension for a fifth positive test. Players with minor league contracts are not covered by · collective bargaining. They are tested four times per year, in and out of season, and have a wider list of banned substances, including Human Growth Hormone and amphetamines. They are subject to a 15-game suspension for a first positive steroid test, a one-year penalty for a fourth positive test and a lifetime ban from the minors for a fifth positive test. ''The-minor league program has been very etlective at getting us to very low positive rates in the minor leagues," Man fred said. Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said possible steroid use had become a factor he weighed in evaluations of trades and signings. BEIJING - China has banned a Nike television commercial showing Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James in a battle with an animated cartoon kung fu master, saying the ad insults Chinese national dignity. The commercial , titled "Chamber of Fear," was broadcast on local Chinese stations and on state television's national sports channel before being pulled last month. It shows James, the Cleveland Cavaliers' reigning NBA rookie of the year, in a video game-style setting defeating the kung fu master, two women in traditional Chinese attire and a pair of dragons, considered a sacred symbol in traditional Chinese cultur~. The advertisement "violates regulations that . mandate that all advertisements in China should uphold national dignity and interest and respect the motherland 's culture," the State Administration for Radio, Film and Television said on a statement posted Monday on its Web site. "It also goes against rules that require ads not to contain content that blasphemes national practices and cultures." The statement added: "The ad has received an indignant response · from Chinese viewers." It did not say why the advertisement was considered offensive.
