About Taxes

Retirement income can be subject to taxes depending on the specific type of retirement account or benefit you receive and your tax bracket. Here are a few examples of common types of retirement income and how they may be taxed:

1. Social Security benefits: Social Security benefits are generally taxable if you have other substantial income in addition to your benefits. The amount of tax you pay on your benefits depends on your taxable income and tax filing status.

2. Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and 401(k) withdrawals: Withdrawals from traditional IRAs and 401(k)s are generally taxed as ordinary income at your current tax rate.

3. Roth IRA withdrawals: Withdrawals from Roth IRAs are generally tax-free if you are over the age of 59 1/2 and you have held the account for at least five years.

4. Pension income: Pension income may be taxed as ordinary income or as a combination of ordinary income and a return of your contributions, depending on the specific terms of the pension plan.

It's important to be aware of the tax implications of your retirement income and to consider them as you plan for retirement. It may be helpful to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor to understand how your retirement income will be taxed.
