Melia Advisory Group has expanded its IRA management services to include RMD planning guidance for Tulsa-area retirees, covering Roth conversions, tax bracket management, and qualified charitable distributions.
-- Melia Advisory Group has announced expanded IRA management services for Tulsa-area retirees, with a focus on navigating the tax implications of required minimum distributions. The firm’s advisory team now provides structured guidance on RMD planning strategies, including Roth conversions, qualified charitable distributions, and income-based retirement planning designed to help retirees manage their tax exposure as withdrawals grow with age.

A common assumption among retirees is that withdrawing from savings will mean a lower tax bracket, since employment income stops and spending often slows. In practice, required minimum distributions taken alongside Social Security benefits and other retirement income sources can push retirees into a higher bracket than expected, potentially inflating a given year’s tax bill and reducing how long accumulated savings last.
As Melia’s advisors explain, RMD amounts are not fixed figures. They are recalculated each year using the prior December 31 balance of tax-deferred accounts divided by an age-based distribution period from the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table, and because that distribution period shrinks each year, the required withdrawal grows larger relative to the account balance. Since this calculation repeats annually, the resulting tax exposure tends to compound rather than stay level, which makes early planning worthwhile.
One option cited by the firm for managing future RMD size is a Roth conversion, in which tax-deferred funds are moved into a Roth account that carries no RMD requirement. The converted amount is taxable in the year of the conversion, however, and can raise taxable income enough to affect how Social Security benefits are taxed or how Medicare premiums are calculated. Weighing a conversion typically means looking at both the long-term reduction in future RMDs and the immediate tax consequence.
Melia’s advisory team is led by Greg Melia, President of Melia Group, alongside financial advisors Becky Benanzer and Madison Lynch. The team specializes in income-based retirement strategies built for long-term sustainability, and IRA services include performance monitoring, ongoing market adjustments, and continuous reporting.
For retirees with charitable giving in mind, a qualified charitable distribution offers a separate planning option. Funds transferred directly from an IRA to an eligible charity can count toward that year’s RMD without the distribution being included in taxable income. For 2026, the IRS sets the annual QCD limit at $111,000 per person. Tulsa-area retirees can find additional information on IRA management and retirement planning at https://www.meliagroup.com/
