The Retirement Tax Mistake Many San Diego Families Don't Discover Until It's Too Late

Many people spend years saving for retirement, but surprisingly few spend the same amount of time planning how those retirement dollars will be taxed.

It's one of the most common issues financial professionals see: someone builds a healthy retirement nest egg, only to discover that taxes take a much larger bite out of their income than expected.

Without proper planning, retirees may unintentionally:

• Pay significantly more in taxes than necessary.
• Increase the taxation of their Social Security benefits.
• Trigger higher Medicare premiums.
• Withdraw retirement funds in the wrong order.
• Leave less wealth behind for their loved ones.

The good news is that many of these issues can often be addressed before retirement or even during retirement with the right strategy.

If you're approaching retirement or have already retired, now is an excellent time to review your income plan and understand how taxes could affect your long-term financial security.

Elisabeth Dawson, founder of COPIA Wealth Management & Insurance Services, has helped families throughout San Diego better understand retirement income planning, tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, and ways to create greater confidence for the years ahead.
