Husband's Recent Retirement Pension/401K

Hi  My husband retired in January 2023.  He gets a small pension from his employer (@$225) each month.  They do not take taxes out despite his request.  I have compensated for it in my paycheck (I still work).  Are we going to incur any problems with the IRS since no taxes are taken out?

Also, my husband has a small 401K, about $12000.  Would you suggest we take it out as a lump sum and put it in a high yield savings account that we currently have?  I plan to work for 3-4 more years.  My husband turns 70 this June so he will have to take RMD's by 72.  I will still be working so we will still be in a higher tax bracket whether we take it all or RMD's.

Thank you.
