Before the ball drops on Dec. 31, make sure your retirement income is protected. Take these 3 essential steps: 1️⃣ Take your required minimum distributions (RMDs). Missing the Dec. 31 deadline can trigger a 25% penalty. 2️⃣ Watch your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). Even small increases could raise future Medicare premiums. 3️⃣ Consider a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). It can satisfy your RMD, lower your MAGI and help you support the causes you care about. A few simple moves today can help you avoid penalties, manage future healthcare costs and protect your retirement income. Get in touch if you’d like help reviewing your year-end strategy.
