[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3943925, member: 45328"] My advise to new retirees is, Check everything out for yourself! Go to the source, and make decisions based on FACTS, not someone else's opinion! Our tax person retired,. she was my sister in law's, sister in law, MISTAKE NUMBER ONE! WE WENT TO A PROFESSIONAL CPA, and it took her about 2 minutes to spot a big mistake we had been making for 17/18 years! Our gross income, SS, and income from investments, put us in the bracket where we had to pay state, and federal income tax, on 80% of our SS income! Being debt free, this was more income than we needed, and she suggested we cut back on the amount of income we took, from investments, to get our gross income down to the amount where we only had to pay income tax on 20% of our SS income! The tax savings this allowed, was as much as we the cut in income from investments, so we ended up with about the same after tax income! This was a HUGE savings, and we could have been doing this all along! Take Care Of Business! [/QUOTE]
