Most people spend decades saving and investing for retirement. But far fewer spend enough time planning how they will withdraw that money or considering how taxes will affect what they actually keep. Poor planning can lead to costly mistakes.
Many factors can affect how much you pay in taxes throughout retirement. Examples include which accounts you withdraw from, the timing of those withdrawals, Medicare premiums, Roth conversions, and other financial decisions. The goal isn’t simply to pay the least tax this year. It’s to create a coordinated retirement and tax plan that helps you keep more of your money over your lifetime.
