Why Taxes Often Go Up in Retirement, and What Planning Ahead Can Change

Many people assume taxes naturally go down in retirement. In reality, retirement often introduces more income sources, more complexity, and more opportunities for taxes to quietly erode cash flow if planning is not done early. In this episode of Retirement Unlocked, Larry Heller explains why tax planning becomes even more important after you stop working, and how retirees can avoid costly surprises over time. Larry walks through how required minimum distributions, Social Security, taxable investment accounts, and Medicare premiums interact. He also explains why focusing only on investment returns can miss the bigger picture, and why what you keep after taxes matters more than what you earn on paper. This conversation is especially helpful for retirees and pre-retirees who want more control, fewer surprises, and a clearer understanding of how income decisions affect their long-term plan. What to expect: Why do taxes often increase in retirement instead of decreasing How RMDs and multiple income sources affect tax brackets Common tax mistakes retirees make when planning start too late How income decisions can impact Medicare premiums Why proactive, year-by-year planning matters And more!
