(Possibly) helpful hints for efficient settlement of my estate: 1) Immediately inform Bank of America about my death so they can stop Social Security payments. Their awareness of my death will not affect the joint account which Mommy and I have with them. 2) electronically transfer assets in Cambridge Trust Co acct 46-505-420 to Cambridge Trust Co Acct 46-505-401. Not much, $1566.24 as of today. Make sure you have the login name and password. 3) get death certificate from state agency. The undertaker will tell you where to apply. 4) make a schedule of assets 5) make minimum required withdrawal from Keogh Plan by writing a check to Margaret Meyer and a check to Ernst J. Meyer. Deposit these checks in Cambrudge Trust Acct 46-505-401. The amount of the checks is calculated by dividing the beneficiary's life expectancy (distribution period) from IRS Publication 590 , Appendix C, Table III http://www.irs.gov/publications/p590/ar02.htm Age Distribution Period 70 27.4 93 9.6 71 26.5 94 9.1 72 25.6 95 8.6 73 24.7 96 8.1 74 23.8 97 7.6 75 22.9 98 7.1 76 22.0 99 6.7 77 21.2 100 6.3 78 20.3 101 5.9 79 19.5 102 5.5 80 18.7 103 5.2 81 17.9 104 4.9 82 17.1 105 4.5 83 16.3 106 4.2 84 15.5 107 3.9 85 14.8 108 3.7 86 14.1 109 3.4 87 13.4 110 3.1 88 12.7 111 2.9 89 12.0 112 2.6 90 11.4 113 2.4 91 10.8 114 2.1 92 10.2 115 and over 1.9 at the END of the calendar year into the value of the beneficiary's assets in the retirement plan at the BEGINNING of the calendar year. I have been calculating my share as .6852, Mommy's share as .3148 of total Keogh assets of $789824.27 on 12-31-2012. Accordingly in October of this year I will write a check on the Cambridge Savings Bank Keogh account 535829320, (present balance 145629.93) for $20719.72 to Mommy and $33201.69 to myself, these checks to be deposited in the joint Cambridge Trust Acct 46-505-401. It is critical that the following February, you report these withdrawals on Form 1099R and 1096. It is also critical that Form 5500EZ be filed by July 1, of each year. The IRS recognizes my Keogh Plan NOT under my social security number but under my CORRECT employer taxpayer identification number: 04-2431652 (Years ago the IRS assigned an INCORRECT number =xx> [04-2431165]
