Taxable account is the way to go. In 40 years I have not paid $1 of capital gains. I do take my $3k of losses each year against ordinary income. The rest will go to my beneficiaries tax free with a step up of basis.
Great point on the withholding vs estimated taxes timing. I don’t usually get much from these videos but that was a nugget. I will never need any of my RMD so that helps.
Nothing complicated. If you have the income you have to pay the taxes. I am in that situation. It sucks, but I have the income so I pay my taxes. I like the QLAC... You can do Roth conversions. But you still pay the taxes.
Thanks for watching! My understanding is that you might potentially do a QCD from an inherited IRA, but you (not the deceased) would need to be old enough to qualify for QCDs. That said, the rules are extremely complicated, I may be misunderstanding or just plain wrong, the rules can change quickly, and there's potentially a lot of money at stake. So, it's critical for anybody reading this to triple-check their specific details with their tax expert before making any decisions.

Thanks for great content. Wondering if you can utilize a QCD with a RMD from a beneficiary IRA? I'm guessing no!
