Most people assume their tax burden shrinks once they retire. For a lot of them, that assumption ends up being expensive.

All those years of contributions to a traditional 401(k) or IRA? None of it has ever been taxed. The IRS has been waiting, and retirement is when they collect.

At 73, Required Minimum Distributions remove the choice entirely. The IRS sets a schedule, and you withdraw on their timeline regardless of whether you need the funds.

The people who navigate this most effectively tend to be the ones who got ahead of it, ideally in the decade leading up to retirement, while there was still time to restructure accounts and map out a smarter withdrawal strategy.
