How can I reduce taxes on required minimum distributions?

Quick answer

The most effective strategies for reducing RMD taxes include: strategic Roth conversions before RMDs begin, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) directly from your IRA to charity, spreading conversions over multiple years to stay in lower brackets, and coordinating with other income sources for optimal tax efficiency.
