Your IRA statement shows a balance. It doesn’t show the tax bill.

Every dollar in a traditional IRA carries a future tax liability that has never been settled. For a Texas family retiring with $1 million or more, that liability compounds quietly for years through required minimum distributions, Medicare surcharges, and a surviving spouse’s filing status. Then it arrives all at once.

The good news: a tax bomb is defused before it goes off, not after. This webinar walks through where the charges are wired, and what the years before age 73 make possible.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why the number on your IRA statement isn't what you'll actually keep, and how to close the gap
  • The RMD staircase: what required minimum distributions actually cost over a retirement lifetime on a $2.5M account
  • The widow's tax trap: what happens to your bracket when there's only one of you left, and how to address it now
  • IRMAA, Social Security taxation, and the other income triggers most retirees never see coming
  • The Roth conversion window: why the years between retirement and age 73 (or 75) may be the most valuable planning period of your life
  • What a coordinated tax strategy actually changes, in real dollars, on a real example

This is an educational webinar. No products will be sold during the presentation.
