Tax Management

Income taxes are a major consideration in a retirement plan. After all, it’s not what you have but what you can keep that matters. Here are some examples of how we help you manage income taxes during retirement:

  • Ensure that you fill up the lower rate tax brackets with income
  • Use Roth conversion opportunities to create accounts that are tax free in the future
  • Understand the tax effect of investment decisions before action is taken
  • Farm losses from taxable accounts to offset current taxable gains
  • Provide income from accounts with different tax characteristics in a way that reduces the amount of income tax due
  • Manage the required withdrawals from IRAs, 401ks and inherited accounts to avoid tax penalties
