    A QCD withdrawal from a traditional IRA (i.e. non-Roth IRA) is great for those who are charitably minded, which includes me. I plan to start next year after I reach 70.5 years old, and not a day sooner. When RMD's are required (at age 73 in my case), I will make sure to take the QCD first because the IRS uses your first withdrawal(s) from your traditional IRA to satisfy your RMD requirement.

So even though you home is worth 1.5 M, the basis for taxes is based on the original purchase price of your home (say, 200K). Props 60&90 let older folks to transfer that original basis to a new home. It means tens of thousands in savings per year.

    With the T+1 settlement (next business day) it is much less time "out of the market" than "sell, transfer, buy" used to require. I've had trouble with Fidelity doing in-kind transfers and needed to spend significant time on the phone with support to make it happen. Since T+1 I just sold, the next day did a transfer and rebuy. Yes, the position might move a little bit. But it is so much less hassle and it allows withholding if desired.

    If you have sufficient cash in your taxable account, it may be easier to *simultaneously* sell in the IRA and buy back in the taxable account. Then do a cash RMD at leisure. This avoids time-out-of-the-market risk. Or if you have a margin account, a day or two of margin interest should be negligible.

    I recall reading somewhere (possibly this channel) that you need to take your annual RMD before taking other kinds of distributions from an IRA (such as regular or Roth conversions). If true, then that's another reason to take your RMD early in the year, for maximum flexibility with the other stuff.

  • @Sylvan_dB
    @Sylvan_dB3 күн бұрын

    Calendar "before" or "after" doesn't really matter. But if you were going to convert the entire thing, and had not yet taken your RMD, you would be in trouble. The RMD is based on the balance at the end of the prior year. As long as you can withdraw that much (or QCD it) from your pre-tax IRA it does not matter when it happens during the year.

    This also means that you need to take QCDs before completing your RMD for the year, since any charitable donations made from your IRA *after* your RMD has been taken will not reduce taxes for that year. It will reduce the EOY balance, however, thus reducing the next year's RMD.

  • @davidtvedte1337
    @davidtvedte13373 күн бұрын

    I do believe the answer is yes. Basically, it is like selling it from your IRA and at the same time buying it in your brokerage account. So not only is the basis stepped up but the date of purchase. This is important if you then needed to sell any of that position in less than 12 months as any gains will be short term.

  • @jabouzane
    @jabouzane3 күн бұрын

    @@davidtvedte1337It's not really accurate to say the basis is stepped up. There is no cost basis in the IRA because it's all pretax money. If you do an in-kind transfer to a brokerage, the custodian needs to treat that as a distribution from the IRA at the market value at the time of the transfer, and the shares will then have a cost basis equal to the distribution amount as if you had just bought them at market value. Eta: also the in-kind transfer acts like a buy in another way. The date of acquisition of the shares becomes the date of the in-kind transfer. Thus, if six months later, you sell those shares, you pay short term capital gains on the earnings. You have to hold for a year after the transfer regardless of how long you had the shares in the IRA if you want to pay long term gains tax.

    Unless you have a lot of other income outside your IRA and SS, RMDs are not going to put you into IRMAA surcharges, which kicks in at higher incomes each year adjusted for inflation. Even a $5m IRA year one RMD is less than $200k and won’t cause an IRMAA issue a few years from now when RMDs start.

    There is a comprehensive wealth tax bill in the US congress. A wealth tax, if it passes, is imposed on an individual’s net wealth, or the market value of their total owned assets minus liabilities. That means everything you own, your investments, any interest on those investments, 401Ks, cars, jewelry, everything valuable you own will be taxed. This helps to explain why 85,000 new IRS agents have been hired. I think the purpose for those agents is to audit the value of your private stuff so it can be taxed. It stands to reason, that if you can't pay those taxes, your valuables will be taken from you. That's the way it usually works. Any homesteading will do you no good. This bill, if passed, will remove the right to private property. However, there are lots of bills in congress that are just sitting and have not been voted on. Let's hope this one will not move forward for a vote.

    We are retired for 4 years. We have multiple toys including 2 boats and a couple sports cars. Everything was purchased well before retirement. We are finding that we are having trouble using everything as much as desired,mostly because we are traveling a lot, but also because we are off the hamster wheel and life has pleasantly slowed down. Carrying costs on our toys are minimal and everything is payed for. I’m realizing we need to shed a couple items slowly, especially before we buy an RV which is also on the agenda.(in the meantime RV rental is going pretty well) For us it is mostly the fun we have doing things with our toys that makes them worthwhile, and I’m also a person that loves to tinker on cars and boats. “Things” for us give pleasure and enjoyment. Sure there is some outflow, but no desire to die rich. Also well aware that our active years are finite.
