Tax Planning
As Benjamin Franklin so eloquently put it back in 1789, "nothing is certain except death and taxes." Your tax situation can easily change throughout your lifetime. With the right planning and awareness, having a tax strategies before and during retirement can naturally help reduce the total taxes you’ll owe over time.
