REDW Financial Advisors & CPAsTransitioning from a paycheck to living off accumulated investments and retirement plans can and frequently create anxiety. Additionally, most people entering retirement do not realize that different types of income will create different income tax outcomes.
Part of the problem stems from the fact that Congress has created different “classes” or types of income that are not treated equally at tax time. Therefore, even though you and your neighbor may have the same total amount of income in retirement, your taxes may be completely different because of the sources of that income.
For example, two individuals living next door to each other have $72,000 of income in retirement; one couple pays $4,546 in Federal and state taxes while the other only pays $35 in combined taxes. Who would expect that type of outcome? Our Wealth advisors will work with you to understand your unique tax situation and identify opportunities that may allow you to keep more of your money.
Because your retirement can span decades, monitoring your financial plan and making adjustments as needed is crucial to your long-term financial success. We will work alongside you in an effort to prioritize financial goals, enhance growth, create dependable income streams, and identify tax-efficient income strategies.
If you cannot participate in a company retirement plan, REDW Wealth can help explore the choices available for individual retirement plans.
Frequently, these plans can be the first choice for developing businesses and can help to create the foundation for a more sophisticated, future retirement plan. They are generally inexpensive, easy to establish and maintain, and offer tax incentives.
Supplemental income in retirement can come from many different sources.
Some of them include rental income from real estate, royalties from oil and gas production, and pensions from employment. If you are faced with pension elections, we can help you choose the option that will work best for you.
