Greg, Temecula - "You asked for reference about inherited IRAs by a non-spouse having to take a RMD every year in the 10 year window. In Forbes, IRS notice 2022-53 will apply to 2023 distribution year. They are not going to penalize anyone who did not take distributions in 2021 or 2022. The IRS proposed the change in 2022 and said will finalize in 2023. Joe said he didn't know anything about this, and supply proof. Maybe someone in the office has heard and could give a little more clarity? David, Tega Cay- "I was listening to the most recent episode on my drive home last night. I believe Joe and Al were called out by a listener regarding inherited IRAs and the impact of the SECURE Act." Listen to the entire Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast: NOTE: Passage of the SECURE Act 2.0 on December 23, 2022 means there are substantial changes to required minimum distributions, retirement savings, and tax planning in place now, and more on the way!

"I am in my 70s. Social Security and pension pay all my bills with a bit left over with an income of ~$55K. I own my home, car, golf cart, and have no debt. $500K + in IRA, $20K + in Roth, $20K + in Brokerage. Most will go to charity upon my death. RMDs are split between QCDs and transfer to brokerage. I'm at the 22% tax bracket. SO-- Bottom line: My life is great as it is. I am healthy. I am not a good spender, even now. I have done my traveling. I don't mind paying my taxes, but would prefer not to pay more than necessary. I've been doing Roth conversions every year (~$12,000, paying the tax from my IRA) as tax rates will increase in 2025. But now I am unsure and would like your thoughts. Is it prudent for me to continue to do conversions in the down market? I'm tending towards yes, as I will have to pay tax in the future anyhow with RMDs, but I have friends who say no, as I won't make the costs back. Does it matter when I pay taxes -- now...

I discovered your podcast and it has taught me so much. I would like to get both of your opinions on the hypothetical outcome of the bill headed for Senate which will move the age for RMDs back to age 75 starting in 2033. I am 45 years old and I currently have $120 k in my roth, and $400 k in a tax deferred 401 k. If this bill passes, will this be a game changer for those like me retiring after this time?! If I don't have until age 75 to pay rmd, will I need to worry less about a growing tax deferred traditional ira? Will this change your recommendations on converting or contributing to Roth accounts? Or is this a small detail in the overall life of the portfolio.
