Tax Retirement Planning Services

Have you thought about taxation during your retirement? If not, then it’s important to start tax retirement planning. While it’s true that taxes tend to fall as you age, since retired people typically have less taxable income, they’re still a factor. 

When you’re working, taxes are still stressful, but they’re typically not something you really have to think about until tax season, due to the fact that income tax is automatically deducted from your paycheck. However, when you’re retired, taxes are something that you must more actively pay. 

It’s crucial to ensure that you’re properly planning for taxes during your retirement, as failure to do so could be devastating. Fortunately, the certified public accountants here at Golub, Senitt, Rosenberg & Co. are here to help you financially plan for retirement, tax retirement planning included.

Determining Tax Brackets During Retirement

In order to be able to budget accordingly for your retirement, you’ll likely need to estimate your future tax brackets. This is not a perfect science, but it is very useful when planning the 20+ to 30+ years you’ll spend in retirement, so you have an idea of what you’ll be paying in taxes.

While many retirees have less taxable income, others have high incomes that necessitate proper planning in order to mitigate the impact taxes can have on your retirement. You’ll also need to know your future tax brackets for capital gains taxes on any investments that you sell. Not all retirement sources will be taxed the same way either, which makes tax retirement planning all the more important, so that you’re as prepared as possible.

Estimating future tax brackets can be difficult to do, so leave that work to the experts here at GSR. Both underestimating and overestimating your future tax brackets can land you in trouble. By leaving the numbers work to a certified public accountant, you’ll have a much more accurate idea of what to expect when you retire.

Minimizing The Impact Of Taxes On Your Retirement Savings

Just like you can implement tax planning strategies when running a business or for your personal tax preparation, you can minimize the impact of taxes on your retirement savings with proper planning, both prior to and during your retirement.

There are multiple ways you can do this. Some of which include:

• Appropriately timing your retirement account withdrawals.
• Avoiding early withdrawal penalties.
• Remembering required minimum distributions.
• Making catch-up contributions.
• Taking advantage of the saver’s credit.
• Converting taxable assets to a Roth IRA.
• Selling investments that have appreciated.
• Revisiting your withdrawal strategy.
• And more.

We’ll work with you directly in order to create a plan for what you, specifically, can be doing in order to minimize the effect taxes have on your retirement savings. 

The taxes you owe throughout your retirement depend not only on your income, but also on the timing of your withdrawals and your strategy. Working with a certified public accountant helps you create and implement strategies that are tax efficient.

Financial Planning For Your Retirement

Determining the best types of retirement accounts for you is a crucial part of financial planning for your retirement, especially when it comes to taxes. Deciding whether you want to pay taxes when you contribute to your retirement account or when you withdraw significantly impacts your budgeting, both for now and in the future. This is something that the certified public accountants here at Golub, Senitt, Rosenberg & Co. can help you with.

Diversification of your retirement accounts is the cornerstone of solid retirement strategies. We’ll go over your current accounts and finances in order to ensure that we’re providing you with the best possible tax retirement planning services.
