A single retired client in North Carolina came to us with a simple question:

What happens if I increase my taxable IRA distributions by $14,300 in 2026?

💰 In 2025 her federal tax bill was $2,045.

😱 We made some projections for her 2026 return and explained that the extra $14,300 withdrawal would increase her federal tax bill by $4,000. Almost 100% more taxes than 2025 from only $14,300 of extra income!

She was overwhelmed- I’m not taking more income!

Here’s why adding $14,300 to her income in 2026 hits harder than the first $44,000.

The additional distributions pushed her “provisional income” over the threshold, causing the taxable portion of her Social Security benefits to rise from $13,533 to $22,760 (85% of her total SS).

Almost 10k of income that didn’t show up in 2025, will in 2026.

Now she knows how this impacts her tax return, but what about her quality of life and the next generation?

❓ Her kids are successful, all three are in 30% plus marginal tax brackets.

Should she take the extra income?
