Hello,
My father died recently, and left our family a surprising amount of money. We lived poorly all our lives, and knew that he was saving a lot of money. But we never expected it to be this much.
My mother will make so much money on the interest, that she will now have to pay serious taxes. Something my dad hated.
She has decided to give much of the inheritance to her children. This way, she will pay less taxes. This will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars for each of us.
My brother and I live in the United States. We want to put this money into tax sheltered vehicles.
401k plans work by deducting your paychecks. As I understand, you can't deposit a lump sum into a 401K. IRAs allow you to put in lump sums, but you are limited to just a few thousand a year.Does anyone know of any tax sheltered retirement plans or investment vehicles where one could deposit a large chunk of money?
What is the plan called? Which companies work with this kind of plan?
Thank you
