What is Lifetime Income | Tax-Free Income Planning Planning?
When planning for retirement, lifetime income and/or even tax-free income can be a realistic goal. Immediate considerations include how long money will be needed, how much per year, what are the best investment options and also what taxes will have to say about it. One may need a combination of strategies to reach an amount of tax-deferred or even tax-free retirement income that meets a particular goal. The earlier one begins saving, the longer tax-free growth can compound, but ultimately retirement income goals will require planning!
An IRA or Individual Retirement account, for instance, is an obvious way to save money for retirement in a tax-advantaged way. It allows a person to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. With a traditional IRA, one can make contributions that are deductible from taxable income annually. That money can grow tax-deferred until it is withdrawn in retirement. Most retirees find themselves in a lower tax bracket than they were during their working days, so when the money comes out, it is taxed at a much lower rate.
An annuity is an insurance contract designed to provide a steady income during retirement. Tax-deferred Annuities, for instance, inside a Roth IRA tax shelter, can offer completely tax-free retirement income. One can contribute up to $5,000 a year ($6,000 if 50+) into a Roth IRA. That, plus any amount converted from a traditional IRA, can be invested into the annuity.
There are also bond, life insurance, and health savings strategies that should be considered with the above options. Ultimately, retirement, lifetime income, and even tax-free income strategies are complicated, so one will benefit from planning with an experienced professional!
