Course Description

Most Americans depend heavily on their Social security income after reaching retirement age. It is one of the most common strategic decisions affecting the lives of millions. There is little understanding about the importance of this strategic decision that can have a widespread impact on the standard of living.

Tax practitioners and CPAs have the ideal position to guide their clients and saving them from long-term hassles. With proper planning, people can take an informed decision for optimizing retirement income. After attending this online CPE webinar, you can efficiently answer common questions like:

Should I take Social Security early or later?
Which Social Security income election strategy will give me the most lifetime net after-tax income?
Does it make sense for me to first draw upon my 401K and/or IRA account(s) and then claim Social Security later?
Does it make sense to re-distribute some of my assets into other investment vehicles that minimize, or altogether possibly eliminate, the taxation of my Social Security benefit?
