IRA Tax Planning

Protect Your
retirement savings

Getting the most from your 401(k) and IRA accounts, as well as Social Security, is about more than waiting to take distributions. It’s about having a plan for when and how to take distributions so you reduce your tax burden. For example, if you’re healthy and have a substantial IRA, it might make sense to delay Social Security payments as part of an overall tax strategy. The right plan can help protect your future by maximizing what you keep and reducing what you pay in taxes. Schedule a free meeting with one of our experts.

Maximize What
You Keep

IRA tax planning is about creating a draw strategy that maximizes what you keep. AlerStallings knows how to protect the wealth of middle and upper-middle-class families, and uses coordinated strategies to ensure your money stays with your family. We can help you decide the best time to start taking distributions and how much you should take each year. That creates security for you and your family and reduces your overall tax burden.

Still Have a Question or Two?

We want to be sure you understand the issues and how we can help you.
With that in mind, here are a few of the questions we hear most often.

No. Your IRA is exposed to your long-term care costs along with your spouses. This is why it is so important to be proactive when you are planning to protect these assets. You have tax and potential long-term care issues to deal with, so starting as soon as possible is essential to ensure that the maximum amount passes on to your loved ones.

The first hurdle is to understand that everyone has to pay taxes on their IRA or 401k. Our goal is to help you pay the lowest amount of taxes possible. The main goal is to be proactive. The earlier you start planning, the more you can save. All of our protection strategies vary based on your goals, income, and gifting strategies. Plans are uniquely designed to fit your needs and minimize taxes ultimately paid to the government.

There are two things to think about when it comes to tax planning. First is to be proactive. The earlier you plan, the more you can save. Secondly, be dilligent. Much like the weather, tax laws change every year. Some of these changes may apply to you, so it is essential to check in with your attorney.

This is a great time to start planning.
