Learning Objective

  • To identify, compare, and contrast tax-deferred versus after-tax retirement savings accounts.
  • To analyze the variety of products available for retirement savings. 
  • To discuss how to create a plan to save for retirement with the most tax-advantageous products available.

Course Overview

A tax-efficient option to save for retirement is through an individual retirement account (IRA). These accounts are generally made for independent contractors who don't have access to a 401(k) or another employer-sponsored retirement plan.

There are two types of IRA: the traditional IRA and the Roth IRA. Though their goals are similar, traditional and Roth IRAs differ in some key ways

When you’re working for yourself or someone else and you are an attempt to save for retirement, you typically have a choice between Traditional and Roth retirement accounts, including individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s.

Key Topics discussed in this webinar:

  • 8 Essential Planning Pillars
  • Retirement Income Planning, Social Security, & Inflation
  • Types of Retirement Savings Accounts 
  • Retirement Income Issues
  • Roth Conversion Strategies
  • Saving Accounts Versus Tax Deferred

This CE Tax Webinar is meant to help you understand the difference, allow you to make better choices, and hopefully resolve how much you pay in taxes.

I learn something new every course I take. It was never mentioned (or I missed it) that if you take deferred income, it raises your AGI and may result in more of your SS being taxable up to 85% of it. Also, if AGI is too high, medicare premiums may increase the subsequest year.
