Retirement Income & Tax Planning We have the ability to make the greatest impact for people who are within 5 years of retirement to 5 years post retirement. That 10 year window is crucial for establishing and executing a plan designed to minimize your tax bill and allow you to live your best life, whatever that means to you. The earlier we begin working with a client in that window, the better. Here are some examples of the questions we help clients answer: When can I retire? When should I claim Social Security benefits? How much can I spend each month? How can I minimize my tax bill? Should I take a lump sum pension payment or monthly income? Do I need a trust, or is a will sufficient? What other estate planning documents should I have? Should I change my investment mix as I age? How can I avoid the Medicare IRMAA surcharge?
