RMDs force annual withdrawals that count as taxable income, potentially triggering higher Social Security taxes and Medicare surcharges based on past income. A $19K IRA withdrawal could push you over thresholds, making half your Social Security taxable. Worse, IRMAA penalties kick in two years later. The fix? Convert part of your IRA to a Roth before RMDs start—you shrink the taxable pot. And if you’re 72+, use QCDs to donate directly to charity: it satisfies your RMD without boosting your taxable income.
