Episode 165: "The Taxes Hiding in Your IRA (And How to Manage Them Before it's Too Late)"
Most retirees are blindsided by Required Minimum Distributions, and the taxes they can cause if you're not prepared. In this video, we break down the RMD Tax Domino Effect: how a single mandatory withdrawal can trigger a chain reaction that pushes you into a higher tax bracket, causes more of your Social Security to become taxable, triggers Medicare IRMAA surcharges, and drains your IRA.
We walk through a real-world scenario so you can see exactly how this plays out, and more importantly, we cover the tax planning strategies smart retirees use to minimize the damage and protect their retirement income.
