In 2026, retirees aged 73 must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their 401(k) accounts, triggering significant tax bills. A retiree with $1.3 million in a 401(k) and $36,000 in Social Security could owe nearly $19,800 in combined federal, state, and Medicare taxes due to RMDs increasing taxable income and Social Security taxability. Strategies like qualified charitable distributions, Roth conversions before 73, and managing withdrawals can reduce this tax burden. Understanding these tax impacts is crucial for retirement planning to avoid unexpected costs.
