(517) 543-7643 175100Watch for changes in RMDs
If you’re a certain age,
you’ll need to withdraw
money from some of your
retirement accounts each
year. But in 2022, the amount
you must take out may be
changing more than in other
years – and that could affect
your retirement income
strategy.
Here’s some background:
Once you turn 72, you
generally must start taking
withdrawals, called required
minimum distributions, or
RMDs, from some of your
retirement accounts, such as
your traditional IRA and your
401(k) or similar employer-
sponsored plan. Each year,
your RMDs are determined
by your age and account
balances. This year, the life
expectancy tables used by
the IRS are being updated to
reflect longer lifespans. This
may result in lower annual
RMDs than you’d have to
take if this adjustment hadn’t
been made.
If you’ve started taking
RMDs, what does this change
mean to you? It can be a
positive development, for a
few reasons:- Potentially lower taxes
- Your RMDs are generally
taxable at your personal
income tax rate, so the lower
your RMDs, the lower your
tax bill might be. - Possibly longer
“lifespan” for retirement
accounts – Because your
RMDs will be lower, the
accounts from which they’re
issued – including your
traditional IRA and 401(k) - may be able to last longer
without becoming depleted.
The longer these accounts
can stay intact and remain an
asset, the better for you. - More flexibility in planning
for retirement income –
The word “required” in the
phrase “required minimum
distributions” means exactly
what it sounds like – you
must take at least that amount.
If you withdraw less than
your RMD, the amount not
withdrawn will be taxed at
50%. So, in one sense, your
RMDs take away some of
your freedom in managing
your retirement income. But
now, with the lower RMDs in
place, you may regain some
of this flexibility. (And keep
in mind that you’re always
free to withdraw more than
the RMDs.)
Of course, if you don’t
really need all the money
from RMDs, even the lower
amount may be an issue for
you – as mentioned above,
RMDs are generally taxable.
However, if you’re 70½ or
older, you can transfer up
to $100,000 per year from
a traditional IRA directly
to a qualified charitable
organization, and some, or
perhaps all, of this money
may come from your RMDs.
By making this move, you
can exclude the RMDs from
your taxable income. Before
taking this action, though,
you’ll want to consult with
your tax advisor.
Here are a couple of final
points to keep in mind.
First, not all your retirement
accounts are subject to RMDs- you can generally keep your
Roth IRA intact for as long as
you want. However, your Roth
401(k) is generally subject to
RMDs. If you’re still working
past 72, though, you may be
able to avoid taking RMDs
from your current employer’s
401(k) or similar plan, though
you’ll still have to take them
from your traditional IRA.
Changes to the RMD rules
don’t happen too often. By
being aware of how these
new, lower RMDs can benefit
you, and becoming familiar
with all aspects of RMDs,
you may be able to strengthen
your overall retirement
income situation.
