Course Description

Social Security can be far more complicated than people realize. The decisions your clients make now can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits they receive over their lifetime.

Financial and tax planners can expect increased demand for strategies that dovetail Social Security with other retirement and estate planning objectives. This course provides tax and financial planning professionals with both the background information on the Social Security system and the strategies clients will need in dealing with Social Security. This one-hour workshop will acquaint CPAs and attorneys with rules and strategies for claiming Social Security benefits. An emphasis will be placed on coordinating the various types of benefits (retirement, spousal, and survivor) in order to maximize benefits over a client’s lifetime.

Key topics:

How Social Security benefits are calculated.
Factors clients need to consider when deciding when to apply for benefits.
Illustrations of lifetime income streams based on claiming ages and breakeven analyses.
Innovative spousal claiming strategies designed to give clients extra income.
How widows and widowers can coordinate survivor benefits with their own retirement benefit to maximize income
Ways to minimize taxes on Social Security benefits
How to coordinate Social Security with other sources of retirement income

Thanks so much for an excellent seminar! Although I don't have or work for a practice, I do end up advising folks about retirement issues, though I keep it as general as possible. This social security information will be very helpful when asked about benefits that folks might be able to expect. I truly appreciate it!

Powerful information to help your client and yourself to understand when to collect SSA Benefits. The presentation was wonderfully balanced with his experiences and the statistic that were projected.

I put a couple of "Neutral" ratings is just because the knowledge and skill learned in this program does not apply to my job, but it's a good knowledge and skill for a CPA to learn.

These are the kind of questions I often struggle with, not yet being old enough to go through the Social Security process myself. This webinar will help me next tax season.
