Most people are told they'll be in a lower tax bracket in retirement. But for those with pensions, Social Security, and large retirement accounts, the opposite is often true. Joe breaks down why prepaying your RMDs could actually be a powerful tax strategy and how it can help you. If you fall into the group of retirees with a pension and significant savings, your planning is different than most people. The strategies discussed here could potentially save tens or even hundreds of thousands in taxes over your lifetime. 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/430T9Lv 📚Get a FREE copy of Joe's book \"I Hate Taxes\": https://keap.page/bsd964/toolkit-podcast.html 🟥 Read our latest article featured in Kiplinger: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/retirement-plans/required-minimum-distributions-rmds/604645/alternatives-to-required 📞 Schedule a call with our team: https://peakretirementplanning.com/schedule-a-meeting/","meta_description":"If you have a pension and $1 million or more saved, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) could become one of the biggest tax challenges in your retiremen…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1262,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/joe-knows-retirement-6734714/episodes/why-prepaying-your-rmds-could-save-you-thousands-in-retirement/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/joe-knows-retirement-6734714/why-prepaying-your-rmds-could-save-you-thousands-in-retirement.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
