If you're nearing retirement with a large pre-tax 401(k) plan or individual retirement account balance, you need a plan for managing future levies, financial experts say.
Great savers could face a "tax time bomb" in retirement when required withdrawals kick in, said certified financial planner Scott Bishop, partner and managing director of Presidio Wealth Partners in Houston.
RMDs are typically tied to pre-tax retirement accounts, which incur regular income taxes for withdrawals.
Those RMDs could push some retirees into a higher tax bracket, according to Bishop, who is also a certified public accountant.
Those lower rates are scheduled to sunset after 2025 without an extension from Congress.
