In this week’s Taxes Saved Reviews, I teach about The Seven Ways Retirees Accidently Pay Too Much in Taxes. Learn how to keep more, live more and leave more. I’m excited to announce the new Taxes Saved webinar that we just posted. This 20 minute, on demand, no-cost, no-obligation, tax-savings educational event contains three real client cases. You can access this webinar at TaxesSaved.com. Whether you’re working, retired or just planning ahead, this is your opportunity to learn how to pay less and protect your hard-earned savings.
A few of the most common of the seven ways retirees accidently pay too much in taxes:
Not doing a Roth IRA conversion in time. Strategic Roth conversions should be done before your RMDs start. Roth IRAs provide flexibility, they don’t increase Social Security taxes or Medicare premiums. Roth IRAs can provide a tax-efficient legacy for your heirs.
Withdrawing too much from IRAs. Withdrawing too much money from your IRAs in one year can push you into higher a marginal tax bracket. Many people are unaware that IRA income is taxed as ordinary income.
Selling investments or properties. Retirees who sell investments or properties may not realize that the gain is added to their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). The extra income can push them into a higher long-term capital gains tax rate and trigger hidden costs such as added Net Investment Income Taxes (NIIT).
In the new, on-demand webinar there are three real-life case studies showing exactly how people are reclaiming money that would have otherwise gone to the IRS. The strategies are not overly complex, powerful and many are still available now, but only if you know how to use them. Below is an outline of two of these case studies.
A high-income earning couple paying $214,000 in taxes learned how to use existing deductions to reduce their tax by $190,000. Their tax bill dropped from $214,000 to $24,000.
A retired couple Roth-converted $500,000 without adding a single dollar to their taxable income. No added taxes on the conversion. No Medicare tax surprises.
To learn how you can save taxes just like the clients in these case studies did, go to TaxesSaved.com, click on the picture of the white arrow on the red background and register to review this short, 20-minute, tax savings education webinar.
The results in these case studies didn’t happen because of tax loopholes or luck. They were achieved using real, legal deductions that you can still use for 2025. Heavy IRA and 401(k) savers and high-income W-2 earners, retirees and business owners are all able to benefit from these strategies.
Here’s an example of how these strategies can work, if you plan to Roth-convert $300,000 and you can legally create $300,000 in deductions, you could offset the Roth conversion tax. The result? You reduce your taxable income, protect your savings and permanently remove your income and assets from future taxation!
You can still save taxes for 2025 if you act now! The cost of waiting will only increase more because, for one, the national debt just went over $38 trillion. Two interest payments alone on our debt cost $1 trillion a year. Our government is now spending nearly $2 trillion more than it takes in. When Washington overspends, they only have one way to make up the difference – raise taxes. Let me ask you a question, do you want to wait for Washington to decide how much of your hard-earned money you get to keep?
This isn’t about the politics. It’s about the math and the math says that taxes are going to need to increase. If you don’t want to be part of the next higher tax tidal wave, go now to TaxesSaved.com, watch the complimentary webinar, then scroll to the bottom of the page and request your Saving Tax Optimization Plan (S.T.O.P.) Analysis.
When you register for the webinar, I’ll gift you the book, The New Holistic Retirement. Start with page 71, it reveals how the government quietly shifts tax rules and how you can legally stay ahead of the tax curve.
The Three Ways Taxes Rise
New taxes are created. Washington does this quietly (and often).
Deductions are changed or eliminated. What you count on today could disappear tomorrow.
Tax brackets are moved. You don’t have to earn more to pay more, Congress can just rewrite the numbers.
The good news is that you can prepare for all three of these right now. If you learn how to shift from earned income to tax-free income and assets, you can live more comfortably and leave more to your family instead of the IRS.
