The Hidden Retirement Tax Mistake That Could Cost You Six Figures

Today's topic might seem simple, but it's one of the biggest mistakes you can make in retirement. Nobody ever talks about this. Not your accountant or your CPA, not even most financial advisors. Yet, it could needlessly cost you six figures in unnecessary taxes in retirement. When you're retired, you're no longer earning a paycheck, but the expenses never stop. So, which account should you withdraw from first? Your IRA or 401k? Your Roth? Your after-tax savings? Or maybe a brokerage account?

‍

Key Mistake to Watch Out For

The wrong withdrawal order in retirement can spiral into higher taxes, social security penalties, and forced distributions. Here's what you need to know:

• Once you start withdrawing, it’s like a chain reaction—everything else from your income could be affected.
• For example, pulling from tax-deferred accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s increases your ordinary income, which might push you into a higher tax bracket.
• This can then impact your Social Security benefits, where up to 85% might be taxed if your combined income crosses certain thresholds.
• And it doesn't stop there—required minimum distributions (RMDs) kick in at age 73, forcing even more withdrawals and taxes.
