Ep 23: What to Know About Taxes in Retirement
PlanningOn This Episode
How much do you know about taxes in retirement? It’s an important topic that can make a major difference in your finances.
Takeaways
On today’s Saving With Silverman podcast, Mark explains what you need to know about taxes in retirement.
Most people assume that their taxes are going to be lower during their retirement years. But, unfortunately, that's not always the case. The big reason is a lot of people’s houses are paid off and their kids are out of the house, so they don’t get those tax deductions.
“Even though taxes are historically very, very low right now, I do think with this national debt taxes have to increase,” said Mark.
We can do tax planning for our clients and often advise them to contribute to a Roth 401K or do Roth IRA conversions. We are not CPAs, but we can refer you to someone we know and trust.
One mistake people make is putting too much into 401Ks and not doing Roths. Not saving in the right place is a common problem we see. We suggest having a 20-minute introductory phone call with us and a complimentary visit to review your finances and goals.
