Could You Lose Half Your Retirement Income to Taxes? - 572

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of taxes on retirement income and various investment strategies.

"Carl and Jane" have eight million bucks, and their advisor is suggesting a 130/30 long-short investing strategy. Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on whether this is a smart tax move or unnecessary complexity - and whether they would do it themselves, today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 572. Plus, Tyrone and Tova think they may never even need their retirement accounts, so do they really need to bother with Roth conversions if the kids are going to inherit the money anyway, or could skipping the conversions mean losing half their retirement income to taxes? Mark in San Diego is juggling Roth conversions and Social Security timing without blowing up his tax bill, or the income-related monthly adjustment amount for Medicare, or net investment income tax. And "Boat Drinks" has a big non-qualified deferred compensation plan. How can he structure payouts before it turns into a tax nightmare - and before he potentially gets laid off?
