All employees and retirees who have pre-tax retirement plans

If you are planning for your retirement or dealing with paying required minimum distributions,  you will want to avoid or minimize the tax time bombs inherent in pre-tax retirement plans. The government and major financial service providers set up a system that benefits them, rather than benefiting the public over the long term. So, prepare to sharpen you pencils and learn about strategies to minimize the harmful effects of paying taxes on these retirement distributions as you transition into and experience the distribution phase of using your retirement funds.

Establishing a strong financial platform for a family as key income earners transition to retirement is a key financial task, made more complicated by the “tax time bombs” inherent in pre-tax retirement plans. If these transitions are handled poorly, families are more at risk of running out of money if they have sudden financial challenges like long-term care needs.  Tax rates have often been assumed to be lower in retirement, while the opposite is often the case.
