Losing a spouse is one of life's most difficult transitions, but many retirees are shocked to discover that their tax bill may increase at the same time their household income decreases. In this episode of Regarding Retirement, Neil Henry explores the financial realities facing surviving spouses and why many professionals refer to it as the "widow's penalty." Neil explains how changes to tax brackets, Social Security benefits, Medicare IRMAA surcharges, required minimum distributions (RMDs), and inherited retirement accounts can create unexpected challenges. He also discusses strategies such as Roth conversions and proactive tax planning that may help reduce future burdens. It's an important conversation about preparing for a possibility no one wants to face but everyone should plan for.
