Social Security cuts benefits in 2034, The chickens have come home to roost The IRS requires us to take withdrawals of a certain amount from our pension, IRA, 401k, 403b or any other tax-deferred accounts starting at age 70 and a half. Uncle Sam wants the tax we deferred when we contributed to these accounts years ago. During our working lives we could avoid tax on some of our gross income or the pension we could qualify for when we retired. We can keep our 401k, 403b, etc going if we are still working. Now we have to pay up. Our RMD is an amount set each year according to IRS tables of life expectancy. We can have our trustee calculate the RMD, send it to us and then we pay tax as ordinary income. We were able to avoid tax on some of our income for years. Now we must pay the tax on that income plus the interest, gains, and dividends it earned. Uncle Sam does not care how we use our RMD retirement money but we can't put it into another tax-advantaged account if we don't need it right now. I will help you break down your alternative uses for these funds no matter how much they are. Spend it or invest it? Consider 17 alternatives.
