about required
minimum distributions


by SUZE ORMAN
Q My wife and I are federal employeeseach contributing the maximum($19,000 pretax plus $6,000 Rothcatch-up) to our Thrift Savings Plans. Arewe able to also contribute to individualRoth IRAs? I am interested in what yousaid about rolling Roth 401(k)s over toRoth IRAs. We are both 63 and plan toretire around January 2023.

A How fabulous! Not only are you bothcontributing the maximum of ;;;,;;;each this year (if you’re under ;; themaximum is ;;;,;;;), you are using aRoth ;;;(k).
Many workplace retirement plansnow come in two flavors. In addition tothe traditional ;;;(k) that has beenaround for decades, lots of plans also giveyou the option of using a Roth ;;;(k).
Check with the human resources department to see if your plan does.
If your plan offers a Roth ;;;(k), Isay go for it. Your contributions will befrom after-tax money, so there’s noupfront tax break. But be patient. Inretirement, any money you withdrawfrom a Roth ;;;(k) will be tax-free.
Every penny you withdraw from atraditional ;;;(k) will be taxed as ordinary income. The value of tax-freemoney in retirement is a huge plus.
Another benefit of a Roth ;;;(k) isthat you can make one easy move andthen not have to deal with requiredminimum distributions (RMDs) onceyou turn ;;;. All traditional ;;;(k)sand traditional IRAs have RMDs so the
PHOTO CREDI T
government can collect tax from you.
Even if you don’t need to withdrawmoney, you’re forced to.
A quirk of ;;;(k) rules is that if youleave money in a Roth ;;;(k) you will behit with RMDs. But if you move yourRoth ;;;(k) to a Roth IRA, there are noRMDs. It’s easy to move money from aRoth ;;;(k) to a Roth IRA at a discountbrokerage once you stop working (orleave for another job). There is no taxbill when you do this.
Even if you are saving the maximumin a ;;;(k), you can also save in an IRA.
But there’s an income test for Roth IRAs:In ;;;;, couples filing a joint tax returnwith modified adjusted gross incomebelow ;;;;,;;; can each contributethe maximum to a Roth IRA; the limit is;;;;,;;; for individuals. You can makelimited Roth contributions if your income is slightly higher, but once youhit ;;;;,;;; (married) and ;;;;,;;;(single) you can only save in a traditional IRA.
Credit reports
A reader who filed forbankruptcy 15 years agorecently told me that she feltlike she was in a Catch- 22
because her credit card
issuers are still using that
event to negatively adjust the
terms on her accounts.
For a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the ding is completelyremoved after seven years.
For a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it
must be removed from your
credit report after 10 years.
This is another reason tomonitor your credit reports.
