How do I use the NUA strategy?

Quick Answer

To use NUA: have a qualifying event (separation, 59½, death, disability), take the entire plan in one calendar year, send shares in-kind to a taxable brokerage, and direct-roll the rest to an IRA. Pay ordinary tax on basis only.

NUA strategy execution steps from triggering event to share distribution.
