Pre-RMD Couple
63, single — large IRA, convert before RMDs
A modeled case study of a 63-year-old approaching RMD age, comparing conversion-and-sequencing strategies before required distributions begin.
Once you are retired, the decisions shift from "how much to save" to "how to draw it down without giving more to taxes than necessary." Praxion models RMD timing, withdrawal order, and IRMAA bracket exposure across the decades you have left.
Required minimum distributions start at 73 for many retirees today. QCDs can offset income for charitably inclined plans. Praxion projects RMDs year by year against your other income.
Drawing from taxable, traditional, and Roth accounts in the wrong order can push you past IRMAA cliffs and add to lifetime taxes. Praxion compares ordering strategies on matched simulations.
Moving from joint to single filing can roughly double effective marginal rates on the same income. Praxion projects the surviving-spouse tax line and the after-tax estate value.
