Think you’ve done everything right for retirement? One overlooked tax detail could cost you thousands.

In this episode of Retirement Unlocked, Larry Heller, CFP®, CDFA®, welcomes Rob Premselaar, CPA and founder of Premselaar CPA LLC, to shed light on the hidden tax pitfalls that can derail even the most carefully crafted retirement plans.

They explore the real impact of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), the surprise taxation of Social Security benefits, and the often-misunderstood IRMAA Medicare surcharge.

  • How to navigate RMD timing and avoid excise penalties
  • How Medicare surcharges can catch retirees off guard and what to do about them
  • Advanced planning opportunities using cash balance plans
  • And more!
