Jim and Chris discuss listener questions on Social Security COLA timing, spousal claiming strategy, IRMAA tax treatment, Roth IRA rollovers from 529 plans, and a listener PSA on deferred annuity RMD rules.
(8:00) Georgette asks whether her initial Social Security benefit—approved in September for a December start—will reflect the January COLA increase.
(15:30) A listener with similar PIAs and ages to their spouse asks whether it makes sense for one to claim early and the other to delay until 70.
(30:30) George shares his realization that the IRMAA surcharge appears to be included in the SSA-1099’s taxable benefit amount, and calls it out in a PSA.
(50:30) The guys respond to George’s question about whether a $5,000 rollover from a 529 to a Roth IRA will be treated entirely as contributions for tax-free early withdrawal.
(1:08:00) Jim and Chris address Peter’s PSA about calculating RMDs when comparing DIAs and FIAs with GLWBs for a future income stream starting at age 75.
