Welcome to this week’s Taxes Saved Reviews. Today I’m teaching about one of the biggest threats to your retirement, forced taxable distributions. These hidden traps can create unnecessary taxes, trigger higher Medicare premiums and leave your children with a tax bill that wipes out your legacy. You still have time to save taxes for 2025!
I’ve recently been teaching a lot from the book, “The New Holistic Retirement.” I wrote the forward to this book and I want to make sure that you get a copy. This book is full of enormous tax-savings insights. When you read the book, pay close attention to pages 49 through 86. Many people are unaware of the taxes to which they are exposed until they read these pages.
It’s never too early and it’s never too late to start to make sure you’re being tax-savings smart. For those who are seriously wanting to save tax in 2025, the time to act is now! To get started on saving taxes, go to TaxesSaved.com, scroll to the bottom of the page and request your complimentary Saving Tax Optimization Plan (S.T.O.P) analysis.
I want to share two real client examples: Ashley in his late 40s and Steve in his early 60s. These examples show why the time to act is now. Whether you’re just getting started or already in the retirement red zone, the sooner you plan, the more taxes you can save.
Ashley’s Story: Turning $400,000 Into $8.1 Million in Tax-Savings
Ashley and his wife had saved about $400,000 in his employer’s retirement plan. What they didn’t realize is that there is a little-known provision that allows them to roll the account to his wife. The wife can then Roth convert out of the employer plan.
Here’s the shocking part, based on his tax rate, growth rate and time horizon, that $400,000 balance could have created over $8.1 million in taxes over his and his children’s lifetimes! But, by acting early, Ashley was able to learn how to use tax deductions to offset the Roth conversion tax.
Steve’s Story: $3 Million Generates $4 Million in Taxes
Steve and his wife are about 15 years older than Ashley and his wife. Their money had more time to compound, but, unfortunately, so did their tax problem.
Their retirement accounts have grown to $3 million, but their projected taxes total over $4 million. Steve learned the hard way that doing Roth conversions without a strategy can backfire. Steve did a partial conversion that triggered an extra $4,000 Medicare premium surcharge.
This is the danger zone many retirees face. Withdraw the wrong way, at the wrong time and you can trigger higher Social Security taxation, Medicare surcharges and higher income taxes that eat away your wealth.
This isn’t just about your retirement. It’s about your legacy. Without a strategy, you could leave your adult children a retirement account that’s full of taxes!
We’ve seen this firsthand. One family was headed toward a seven-figure tax hit. With the right strategies, they avoided it, protecting their children and moving up their retirement (instead of pushing it back). This is known as cross-generational tax planning. It’s about keeping your money in your family’s pocket not Washington’s. Cross-generational tax planning protects you now – and it protects your legacy later. We have several clients who are sharing tax-savings planning with parents and adult children to protect all angles of preventable tax exposure.
