The Ultimate Guide to Retirement Tax Planning

Securing Your Financial Future

Effective retirement planning is about making your money last. A key component of this is minimizing the tax you pay on your retirement income.


Roth vs. Traditional IRA/401(k)

Understanding the difference is fundamental.

  • **Traditional:** You get a tax deduction now, but withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income.
  • **Roth:** You contribute with after-tax dollars (no deduction now), but qualified withdrawals in retirement are 100% tax-free.

  • Tax-Efficient Withdrawal Strategies

    The order in which you tap your retirement accounts matters. Generally, it's wise to withdraw from taxable accounts first, followed by tax-deferred accounts (like a Traditional IRA), leaving tax-free Roth accounts for last to grow as long as possible.
