in a higher bracket the investment amount could be reduced by 20-30% which will affect the yield and growth.
Someone mentions that the sale of a house (particularly a non-residence) could cause an increase in IRMMA (which will calculated for 2024 based on your 2022 return). Yes it could but there a form you can file which requests medicare to reduce the premium based upon non-recurring events or life changing situations. Their response to filing this form is very quick.

Suppose the 65-year-old has $3 million in non Roth IRA/401K accounts. Can the maximum annual Roth conversions be determined based on the "best" current tax/ IRMMA rates. This would also assume that side issues like inheritance concerns are not important.
Would this just be a total guess since items like future tax rates, investment returns and life expectancy are unknowns to certain degrees?
