On today’s show I explain maximizing your income taxes through proper tax bracket management. This starts with making sure your IRA withdrawal and Roth conversion plans match your estate planning goals. You may want to take advantage of a Stretch Roth IRA or Stretch IRA in your estate plan. I then move on to other estate planning mistakes such as non-qualified annuities, creating a separate trust for younger or spendthrift children, not using IRA's to donate to charities and estate planning tips if you have saved $5.5 million or more.
Towards the end of the show I discuss what needs to be done after someone dies, from getting the estate tax ID number and death certificates to contacting social security and other professionals.
Don't forget about our upcoming seminar at Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Airport on May 19th where Rob Black and I will explain how to build a retirement portfolio that lasts. Registration is only $5 so click HERE to sign up!
