Losing a spouse is heartbreaking, but what if the financial aftermath creates an even bigger surprise than most families expect? In this episode of Your Retirement, Your Way, Gary Garland explores the often-overlooked tax consequences of becoming a surviving spouse. From shrinking tax brackets and lost deductions to Social Security changes, required minimum distributions, and Medicare IRMAA surcharges, Gary explains why many widows and widowers find themselves paying more taxes despite having less household income. He also discusses proactive strategies including Roth conversions, tax diversification, income planning, and estate planning techniques designed to help families prepare before a crisis occurs. The best time to plan may be before these decisions become urgent.
