An Educational Presentation On Taxes & Retirement
Understanding Retirement Strategies & Clarifying Effective Tax Rates
It’s a fact – without developing a strategic retirement plan that factors in the impact of taxes, your income will likely be reduced when you enter your golden years.
With fewer deductions and dependents to claim on your tax return you may find yourself paying federal taxes on a higher percentage of your income in retirement.
Many retirees are shocked to learn their pensions and IRA distributions are 100% taxable.
Meanwhile Social Security benefits can be taxed as much as 50% to 85% depending upon your combined income.
If you expect investments to be a major source of your retirement income, you may find that market volatility, rising inflation, and the increased cost of living, end up taking a bigger bite than you expected.
Add to this unexpected medical expenses, or the untimely death of a spouse, can further reduce the income you’ll depend on for the rest of your life.
