$42,762 less tax
You need this if…
- You have $250,000+ in a 401(k), 403(b) or IRA
- You are between 55 and 75
- You don’t know what you’ll pay in tax once you retire
- Nobody has shown you your RMDs yet
The IRS already has a plan for your 401(k).
From 73 or 75, it forces money out every year and taxes it. If you don’t plan the years before, the RMDs will decide your bracket for you.
Make your own plan first.
