Learning Objective

  • Identify primary retirement income sources: Social Security, IRAs, and investments.
  • Understand strategies to maximize Defined Contribution Plan benefits.
  • Explain the benefits and options of Defined Benefit Plans.
  • Utilize Roth IRA advantages for tax-efficient retirement withdrawals.

Course Overview

When you retire, your income usually flows from three possible sources: Social Security benefits, distributions from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and retirement plans, and funds from savings and other investments.

IRAs and retirement plans, such as 401(k)s, allow you to accumulate tax-advantaged savings over your working years, which can be drawn upon in retirement. Your personal savings and investment accounts can also supplement these income sources, offering a buffer for unexpected expenses or enhancing your lifestyle.

Understanding the nuances of different retirement plans is crucial to maximize your retirement income. Defined Contribution Plans, such as 401(k)s, offer several strategies to boost your savings. Furthermore, having access to a Roth IRA can be particularly advantageous in retirement. Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs allow for tax-free withdrawals of contributions and earnings, provided certain conditions are met. This can be a powerful tool for managing your tax liability in retirement, offering greater flexibility in how you draw down your savings. Strategically combining withdrawals from Roth IRAs with other income sources can help you maintain a lower taxable income, thereby preserving more of your wealth over the long term.

Key topics covered:

  • Sources of Retirement Income
  • Boosting Savings with 401(k)s
  • Roth vs. Traditional IRAs
  • Tax-Efficient Withdrawals
  • Creating a Strong Financial Plan

Join this CPE Course. It will discuss different retirement income sources and tax strategies for creating a robust and resilient financial plan for your retirement years.
