No cost. No obligation. Sessions are limited to qualified savers.


Where it actually lands

It is rarely just the tax bill.

  • A higher bracket than you planned for

    Required withdrawals stack on top of Social Security, pensions, and everything else. As the account grows, so does the required amount.

  • Medicare premium surcharges

    Income above certain thresholds raises what you pay for Part B and Part D. The determination looks back two years, so the bill arrives long after the decision that caused it.

  • More of your Social Security taxed

    Higher reported income can increase the taxable portion of benefits you already paid for.

  • The bill your spouse inherits

    A surviving spouse files single. Much the same income, assessed against a narrower bracket structure.


Who the session is for

We can only be useful to some people.

  • You are roughly 55 to 70
  • You have $250,000 or more in traditional pre-tax retirement accounts
  • You have not yet begun required minimum distributions
  • You would rather know the number than be surprised by it

If that describes you, the next step takes under a minute. If it doesn't, close the tab with our blessing — you'd be stopped at the quick check anyway, and we'd rather not waste your time.
