Election Uncertainty? GUIDE
Tax planning can make a big difference in your financial health and the lifestyle you enjoy during retirement. By finding ways to lower your tax burden, you can make your retirement savings last longer and enjoy a more comfortable retirement.
Assessing Your Accounts
Understanding the tax implications of your different accounts is the first step toward effective tax planning. Our team takes the time to assess which of your accounts fall into taxable, tax-deferred or tax-advantaged categories. This in-depth analysis helps us pinpoint opportunities for tax savings and craft a more tax-efficient retirement plan tailored for you.
Tax-Deferred and Tax-Advantaged Money
Balancing tax-deferred and tax-advantaged accounts is crucial to minimizing taxes in retirement.
Â
- Tax-Deferred Accounts: These accounts, such as traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, allow you to defer taxes until you withdraw the money. We help you strategically withdraw from these accounts to manage your tax liability effectively.
- Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Roth IRAs and other tax-free accounts can be powerful tools in your retirement strategy. We help you incorporate these accounts into your plan to maximize their tax benefits, ensuring a more tax-efficient income stream.
RMD Withdrawal Strategies
Once you reach the age of 72, the IRS requires you to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your tax-deferred accounts. Navigating RMDs can be complex, but we’re here to help guide you through the process.
- Timing and Amounts: We help you determine the optimal timing and amounts for your RMDs to minimize taxes and avoid penalties.
- Integration With Other Income: Your RMD strategy should align with other income sources and financial goals. We ensure your withdrawals are coordinated with your overall retirement plan.
- Tax Implications: Understanding the tax impact of your RMDs is crucial. We provide insights and strategies to manage these implications effectively.
