Retiree, 70, Seeks Way to Shift $1 Million IRA Without Hurting Wife's Subsidy

Original: He's 70 and Wants to Move $1 Million Out of a Traditional IRA Without Costing His Wife Her Subsidy. Two Birthdays Decide How

A 70-year-old man with $1 million in a traditional IRA is looking for a way to move or withdraw the money without raising household income enough to cost his wife her health insurance subsidy. Commenters point out that two upcoming birthdays — his wife reaching Medicare eligibility age and required minimum distributions beginning — will shape which strategy works. The case highlights how Roth conversions, withdrawal timing and ACA subsidy cliffs interact for older American couples.
