Withdrawals from 401(k) must begin at 70 1/2
Dear M.D.: I don't know where this information is coming from, but it is not accurate. You're 74 and still working. That's terrific, but you were required to start drawing on your 401(k) at 70 1/2. There's no way you can leave it intact.
As you can readily see, there is not much left over for mortgage, insurance on my condo, cars, food, etc. I refinanced the house to cover the credit card expenses. How can I better structure my taxes to realize a greater dollar refund, especially the caregiver/driver expenses? -- H.J.
Dear H.J.: You didn't indicate what your income was from, but it's considerable as I assume that you're working at home with a disability. That having been said, given your expenses for the caregivers, I can't imagine that you would have any taxes to pay! Unfortunately, it still doesn't leave you with enough to live on with the caregiver expenses.
There must be some type of agency in your community or county that will help you with this. That's where I would begin. If you're unable to find such a person, then I would suggest that you sit down and have an attorney guide you.
