A $1.3 Million 401(k) Could Become a $2.4 Million RMD Problem
Original: A $1.3 Million 401(k) Left Alone at 62 Becomes a $2.4 Million RMD Problem at 73, Unless the Owner Makes One Move First
A widely shared personal finance article outlines what happens to a $1.3 million 401(k) left untouched from age 62 to 73: growth to roughly $2.4 million leaves the owner facing sharply larger required minimum distributions and a bigger tax bill. The piece argues that one early move, such as a Roth conversion or staged withdrawals, can reduce that future burden.
Why now: Retirees are looking for ways to limit required minimum distribution taxes as account balances grow.
