Overview

Get your clients ready for their golden years

Every day in the United States, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 and will need to contemplate retirement. As a CPA financial planner and tax professional, are you ready to meet their needs?

Although financial planning for retirement often focuses on reaching wealth accumulation goals by the client’s projected retirement date, managing assets after retirement to maximize their longevity may be equally important.

Structuring a tax-efficient distribution portfolio and creating the optimal order for distributing the various retirement assets can substantially increase how long the assets will last and increase the sustainable withdrawal rate from the portfolio. This planning is particularly important for retirees whose portfolios have been depleted by poor market performance.

In this webcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, will cover the following topics:

Which assets to include in the distribution portfolio
The effect of taxes on asset allocation
The order in which assets should be withdrawn from the distribution portfolio
Managing capital gains and dividends, including loss harvesting
Managing tax brackets
Managing Social Security benefits
Tactical income tax planning with defined benefit plans, tax-deferred annuities, and net unrealized appreciation
The power of tax deferral
Roth IRA conversions and their optimal implementation
