These 4 Strategies Can Reduce Your RMDs

Key Takeaways

  • Traditional tax-deferred accounts that you own in your own name are going to be subject to required minimum distributions.

  • To reduce RMDs, you should first prioritize Roth contributions.

  • Roth contributions can be preferable to traditional tax-deferred ones, but some people still don’t have a Roth option for their company retirement plan.

  • Converting traditional IRA assets to Roth is the second strategy to reduce RMDs.

  • After retirement and before the RMD years can be a good time to accelerate withdrawals from a tax-deferred account despite triggering a tax bill.

  • Qualified charitable distributions can be another way to reduce RMDs.
