For over 20 years, tax advisor Ed Slott, CPA, has been on a mission to educate Americans about protecting their retirement savings. With an estimated $16 trillion in tax-deferred savings, Americans need to have a plan in place to avoid being taxed as much as 90% on their investments. In his first public television special, STAY RICH FOREVER & EVER WITH ED SLOTT, the IRA expert shares strategies viewers can implement right now to safeguard more of their retirement savings—for themselves and their beneficiaries. Using personal stories to illustrate the impact the IRS can have on the distribution of tax-deferred savings, Slott outlines benefits in the tax code that people can cash in on, literally, to ensure their financial future.

A nationally recognized IRA distribution expert and personal finance columnist, Slott is the author of Your Complete Retirement Planning Road Map (Random House; 2007), Parlay Your IRA Into a Family Fortune (Viking; 2005), The Retirement Savings Time Bomb and How to Defuse It (Viking; 2003) and “Ed Slott’s IRA Advisor,” a monthly IRA newsletter. Based in Rockville Centre, NY, Slott regularly presents continuing professional education seminars on IRA distribution planning and estate planning.
