Taking required minimum distributions

If you invest in traditional IRAs or employer-sponsored retirement savings plans, it’s important to know that they are not shielded from taxes indefinitely. When you reach age 73, depending on the year you were born you must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) to avoid tax penalties. Contact us today to learn more about your options.

Maximize your IRA contributions to take advantage of tax benefits

With tax season approaching, now is a good time to review your traditional or Roth IRA contributions. You can make your 2025 contributions until April 15, 2026, and you may lower your tax bill. If you are under 50, you can maximize your IRA contributions up to $7,000. If you are 50 and older, you can contribute up to $8,000. You can also start your contributions for tax year 2026, where contribution limits are $7,500 if you're under 50 and $8,600 if you are age 50 or older.

By maxing out your IRA contributions before the April tax deadline, you can give your money more time to deliver tax-deferred, compounded growth. Over time, that can potentially add up. Contact us to discuss the possibility of maximizing your 2025 traditional and Roth IRA contributions before April 15, 2026.

Create a legacy that passes on your wealth and values

A significant wealth transfer is underway as baby boomers pass on their accumulated wealth to younger family members. By 2048 an estimated $124 trillion* is set to change hands in the U.S.

As wealth changes hands from one generation to another, RBC Wealth Management is positioned to help families plan and communicate so the transition is about money and values for an impactful, long-term legacy.

When it comes to a wealth transfer mindset, RBC Wealth Management learned from conducting a 2024 survey that individuals, regardless of age, similarly prioritize family harmony and family values. Perhaps surprisingly, a generation gap did not exist between baby boomers, millennials and Gen Xers.

Our wealth transfer survey also found that the keys to successful wealth transition are trust and communication, heir preparedness and alignment of family values around wealth. To help you, we created a new wealth transfer insights guidebook. Access the guide now to get started.
