DRAIN THESE 4 ACCOUNTS BEFORE AGE 73: Or The IRS Forces Retirees Into A Tax Spiral
At age 73, a mechanism activates inside every traditional IRA in America — and if the account hasn't been strategically drained before that birthday, the mechanism runs on autopilot for the rest of the account holder's life, getting worse every year. It is called the RMD tax spiral: the compounding feedback loop where each mandatory distribution raises the income level that sets the rate on the next distribution, activates IRMAA Medicare surcharges, locks in the maximum Social Security taxable fraction, and eventually pushes investment income across the Net Investment Income Tax threshold — all simultaneously, all self-reinforcing, all generating $150,000 to $200,000 in avoidable lifetime tax above the baseline. In this bulletin we follow Victor and Norma Szymanski, 69 and 67, of Allentown, Pennsylvania — $1.1 million heading into the spiral in four years, a 12% conversion window that is wide open right now, and four accounts that can break the spiral before it starts.
