On December 29, 2022—the enactment date, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which included the SECURE 2.0 Act. However, there is a difference between the date of enactment and the effective date of a provision.

The SECURE 2.0 Act has 92 distinct provisions. Some are effective upon enactment; some for plan years or tax years beginning after the date of enactment (January 1, 2023 for calendar year plans and taxpayers); and some in later years. This article discusses many of the most important provisions that are already effective—those that became effective upon enactment or in 2023.
