RMDs Unpacked: The Math Behind Your Required Distributions (and Tax Strategy)


Listen Later

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) could force you to withdraw as much as 15% of your retirement account balance in a single year.

But do RMDs really put you at risk of outliving your money?

Why does the IRS expect you to live so much longer than the Social Security Administration does?

And what proactive steps can you take before age 73 to avoid giving the IRS more than its fair share?

In this episode, I'm unpacking:

‣ How RMDs are actually calculated

‣ Why the IRS tables are more conservative than most people realize

‣ The pros and cons of using RMDs to build a dynamic withdrawal strategy

I'm also sharing tax planning tips and strategies for navigating your RMDs.

If you're concerned about how RMDs might impact your retirement plan—or you're looking to optimize your tax situation before they kick in—this episode is for you.
