How can I avoid falling into a higher tax bracket when I retire?

Answer 1

On the strategy of tax savings in retirement, you can do a few things. Remember, your tax bracket is based upon the income you draw off of qualified accounts and earned income. Take the approach of drawing income from a portion of qualified, non qualified and tax free areas. By following this approach, you can control your tax rate. If you have not set up tax free areas to draw income, do so immediately! There are four or five tax free areas for you money to gain growth. Remember, tax rates are comparatively low compared to the 1940's to the 1970's so count your blessings!

Answer 2

Make less money, or have more deductions. If you have significant investments, invest in tax-free instruments like tax-free bonds.

When you reach 79-1/2, you'll have minimum required distributions if you have a traditional IRA or a 401K. Before that age, you don't have to withdraw anything unless you want to use the money. You'll only pay taxes on what you actually withdraw from these. If you have a Roth IRA, any withdrawals aren't taxed.
