IRMAA

Financial commentators are outlining a retirement withdrawal strategy for a 63-year-old with a $1.2 million 401(k) who wants $48,000 a year in income. The plan focuses on keeping taxable income low enough to avoid higher Medicare IRMAA premiums and prevent Social Security benefits from being taxed once claims begin. It highlights ongoing interest among near-retirees in sequencing withdrawals and managing income thresholds.
