421 | Secure Act 2.0 Deep Dive: What Changed for Retirement Savings

If you're sitting on decades of tax-deferred retirement savings, the government just gave you three more years before you have to start taking it out — but only if you were born after 1959. Tax expert Sean Mullaney breaks down Secure Act 2.0, the late-2022 law that quietly reshuffled the retirement planning playbook. The biggest win: individuals born in 1960 or later can now delay required minimum distributions (RMDs) until age 75, creating a wider window for strategic Roth conversions and tax-deferred growth. The law also opens Roth contributions in SEP and Simple IRAs and, for the first time, allows unused 529 plan funds to roll over into a beneficiary's Roth IRA under specific conditions. Key Topics Discussed Introduction to Secure Act 2.0 [00:01:25] Overview of the new tax law's implications for the financial independence community. Delays in RMDs [00:03:00] RMDs now start at age 75 for those born in 1960 or later, allowing for more tax-deferred growth.
