The Retirement Tax Surprise

In many cases, taxes actually go up in retirement. Most people do not completely understand why this happens.

• Required Minimum Distributions force taxable withdrawals whether you need the money or not
• Up to 85% of Social Security benefits become taxable based on provisional income
• IRMAA surcharges increase Medicare premiums for higher-income retirees
• The SECURE Act's 10-year rule forces heirs to drain inherited IRAs within a decade

These factors can create a higher effective tax rate than you ever paid during your working years.
