The Hidden Tax Bill No One Plans For

from Upticks: A Financial Planning & Investment Podcast · host Jake Falcon

Most retirees focus on how much they've saved but overlook the hidden tax bill that can quietly drain their income for decades. In this episode of Upticks, Jake and Cory break down reasons two people with the same net worth can have wildly different retirements, all because of how, and when, they pay taxes. From required minimum distributions (RMDs) and Social Security taxation to Medicare IRMAA surcharges, they explain ways poor tax planning can turn the IRS into your biggest retirement expense.
