The Truth About Having Both a Pension and an IRA

from Joe Knows Retirement · host Joe Schmitz Jr.

If you have both a pension and an IRA, your retirement planning is different than most people realize. While many retirees see their taxes decrease, those with pensions and large retirement accounts often face higher tax brackets, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), Medicare premium increases, and more taxable Social Security income. In this video, Joe explains the biggest tax challenges facing retirees with pensions and IRAs, why the 2% Club requires a different strategy, and how Roth conversions may help reduce future taxes. 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/430T9Lv 📚Get a FREE copy of Joe's book "I Hate Taxes":  https://keap.page/bsd964/toolkit-podcast.html 🟥 Read our latest article featured in Kiplinger: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/roth-iras/roth-ira-when-to-withdraw-if-you-have-a-pension 📞 Schedule a call with our team: https://peakretirementplanning.com/schedule-a-meeting/
