Taxes
Taxes take away from your net spendable dollars in retirement, leaving you with the potential for a lower standard of living.
Planning for or limiting the exposure to taxes enables families to better afford expected and unexpected health care costs in retirement.
•The tax which has the potential to cost the most is also unknown to the majority of people; Medicare means testing•Taking income that subjects you to taxes on your social security •The most overlooked opportunity to save taxes is the medical expense deduction. It has a floor of 10%, meaning that the first 10% of medical expenses as a percentage of your adjusted gross income cannot be deducted.
By our estimates it is a $100 billion annual lost opportunity for those over the age of 65.
