Required minimum distributions introduce a new layer of planning.
For some, those distributions are needed for income. For others, they create opportunities to support family or charitable goals.
Recent updates to charitable contribution rules add additional considerations, including how smaller contributions are treated and how itemized deductions may apply.
We work with clients to look at RMDs in the context of income planning, tax strategy, and long-term goals, so decisions are aligned rather than reactive.
If you are approaching RMD age or already taking distributions, this is an area worth reviewing with intention.
