The Boon - Tax Diversification

The Boon - Tax Diversification

Having a plan for retirement is great! But remember, you’ll still have to pay income taxes. But tax-free retirement income from a Roth account could help offset some of the tax you’ll pay on withdrawals from a tax-deferred retirement account.


How a Roth Can Help

  1. Let’s say you plan to retire to a state with lower taxes in the future. But what if something happens and you have to stay put? You’d pay a higher state tax on your traditional retirement plan withdrawals than expected.

  2. When required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your tax-deferred retirement plan(s) kick in, the added RMD income could put you in a higher tax bracket.

  3. A surviving spouse will likely have to switch to single-filer status, under which tax rates escalate more quickly. Also, RMDs rise with age.


Consult your tax and financial professionals to learn more about planning for taxes during retirement.
