Q. I participate in a non-qualified plan. Will this affect how I should withdraw my benefits from my qualified plan at retirement?

A. In a qualified plan you must start withdrawing your required minimum distribution by age 70 1/2 or you can be hit with a 50% tax penalty. Non-qualified plans are generally more flexible. You need a financial planner to look at your whole financial situation to determine what is the best withdrawal strategy.
