“Tax Free” vs. “Tax Deferred” and the consequences for not knowing the difference!

Are you positioning yourself correctly for your retirement between taxable, tax-deferred and tax free asset classes?  This is extremely critical when you begin drawing income from these asset classes later in life.  If your asset classes are not positioned correctly, your Social Security income benefits could be exposed to tax!  In fact, up to 85% of your Social Security benefits could be subject to income tax!  If you’re using a traditional tax deferred qualified plan like a 401k, once you begin to supplement you Social Security with it, it will trigger taxation on you Social Security Income.  Don’t let this happen to you!
