    Taxation on Retirement Accounts 101

    There is no doubt that income taxation plays an important role for retirees and their retirement income plans. So, what is considered retirement income? Typically, Social Security, a traditional pension, disbursements from retirement accounts (401k’s, 403B’s, IRA’s, etc.), and also, annuities. Taxation on distributions from annuities can get especially confusing for some folks. So, in today’s episode, your financial coaches Jeff Montgomery and Nick Craven go over ‘Taxation 101’ on all different retirement accounts to help better understand taxation on annuities.
