What’s the best way to protect assets from taxes in retirement?
Taxes can be your biggest retirement expense—plan them intentionally.You control more of your retirement taxes than you think. Without a plan, withdrawals, RMDs, and Social Security timing can push you into higher brackets, increase Medicare premiums, and erode savings. With a plan, you can structure income, conversions, and account placements to potentially reduce lifetime taxes.
The challenge
Many retirees focus on investment returns and ignore tax drag. Yet two households with the same nest egg can experience dramatically different outcomes based solely on tax timing. Converting too late, drawing from the wrong accounts, or missing a window before RMDs can mean paying more than necessary for decades.
