In this episode of Capitalize on Retirement, David and Brandon explain how RMDs work, why they exist, and what retirees may want to know before distributions begin. They also cover how the SECURE Act and SECURE Act 2.0 changed the rules around RMD age and inherited IRAs, and why the years between retirement and RMD age may be worth looking at from a planning perspective. The conversation includes Roth conversions, Qualified Charitable Distributions, and how tax planning and retirement planning may work together.
