    Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

      Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting.

    I lucked out. Grew up poor and didn't take many retirement options, but got very lucky. Would have been paying taxes on only about $5k a year, the rest was tax free. I moved into a small apartment because it was too much work to keep such a large house clean. And put my house out as a rental. Had to fix a few things before I could rent it out. What I had not been aware of is that once my house became a rental, I was able to deduct most repairs, all property taxes, all insurance payments paid on that house from my taxes. I was paying almost everything I earned on rents to fix it up. Took all my paperwork to a tax accountant, and ended up having NO taxes at all. Also receive a deduction on my taxes for old age and another deduction for being disabled.
    My living expenses decreased so much while living in that small apartment that, in a couple of years, I was able to purchase a second house to rent out. I hired a realtor to handle both houses, am fixing up the second house, and have no taxes to pay for this year either. Whatever I'm doing, my tax accountant says it's all legal. So my property values are rising, houses look great, the realty is doing most of the work, and I'm just relaxing.

    Only government can screw it up this much. There are millions of social security recipients who would take on these lower paying jobs, except for the fact that they will pay extra taxes on their social security based on a formula that was put in place and has not been changed since 1984. Simply stop the taxes so that anyone drawing social security will pay the same taxes as anyone else. Government will still draw fica, and empolyers would get some relief.

    Excellent, excellent. I have a question and I will deeply appreciate it if you answer my question. Let us assume, I was born in August of 1958, and I will retire, God willing, at the age of 70 in 2028. in 2022 COLA was 5.9%, in 2023 it was 8.7%, in 2024 it looks like it will be 2.7% and let us assume that in the following years, each year, COLA will be 1%. So, if we add them the result will be 21.3%. Will COLA total 21.3%, be added, to my social security annual check which, let us assume, will be $35,220 ? 21.3% + yearly SS amount $35,220= $42,697.6 ? I am just asking, I do not know the mechanics. Thanks in advance.

As long as I can pay the taxes on the re-characterization amount, would it be wise just to convert from Traditional to ROTH IRA the amount that keeps me inside that bracket?

    Hello, quick question, I am a 62 yo retired Federal employee. I get a monthly annuity and have Federal tax taken out of that. My wife still works and has Federal tax (10%) taken out each paycheck. This past year we got a Federal tax refund of over $2k. Since I turned 62 two months ago, my SSA Supplement ended. Starting this month I will begin receiving my Social Security benefit payment which works out to be about $700 more than my SSA supplement was per month. My question is, since my wife and I received a good amount from last years Federal tax return, am I required regardless to have additional Federal tax taken out of my Social Security benefit even if I think we are paying adequate Federal Taxes on our income?

    Provisional income is equal to Gross Income (not including SS) + 50% of SS income.
    It looks like there is an error in Example #3 at 2:54 in the Gross Annual Income. THe couple has a combined $3570 in SS Income. That equates to $42,840 annual. The 401K/IRA withdrawal of $6000/mo, equates to $72,000. Hence their Gross Annual Income, which he defines as the sum of all these taxable incomes, is $114,840 (and not $136,944 as shown in video).

    Lane, a few points of confusion for me. At about 8'45", you show the SS Tax Thresholds. I'm single. Are these thresholds representing all income or just SS benefit income? Do I add my pension and SS benefit, multiply by 12, or do I multiply just my SS benefit by 12? If my SS benefit taken at 62 was $1,925.20, that would be $23,102.40/year, so below the threshold. But, adding my projected pension benefit of $3,798.02/month, the two together would come to $5,723.22/month, so $68,678.64/year. By one way, I would pay no SS tax, but by the other, 85%.
    I'm still confused as to how the provisional tax and then the ultimate SS tax is calculated. I couldn't figure out a consistent pattern between these examples, and so still haven't been able to figure out what my annual tax would be even if I assumed I would pay the 85% rate. I think I look pretty similar to the single AZ adult, though my SS benefit is quite a bit lower and my other income is a pension, not a 401k.
    So, just to summarize, per month ...
    SS benefit: $1,925.20
    Pension: $3,798.02
    Single, age 62.
    Thanks for any clarification you can provide. I appreciate these videos. I've been learning a lot,
    Alex

      In this other video I am more clear on how the formula works. th-cam.com/video/92i1q3itr5I/w-d-xo.html But based on the numbers you provided your provisional income number is $57,127 which means that 85% of your SS beneifts ($19,637) will be taxed as ordinary income. Your total estimated tax, based on current tax rates, would be about $4,789 per year.

      There is an IRS formula to calculate provisional income. Provisional income is used to determine how much of your Social Security benefits will be taxed in retirement. The basic formula is 50% of your annual Social Security benefit amount plus all other taxable income. That equals the provisional income number.

    • @FinancialFastLane
      @FinancialFastLane  ปีที่แล้ว

      When done properly it will save you taxes over time with tax bracket management. Also, it can help you to avoid taxation on Social Security. Also the future RMDs can be very tax inefficent without a good plan. There is also a risk of taxes being higher in the future. Money in a Roth is not impacted by inceasing taxes and all growth is tax free. There are many benefits and there is wisdom in tax diversification rather than keeping it all "tax deferred".

    The problem with all this is most Americans have never read any of the tax code. Indeed, most probably dont know which title in the usc is the tax code. Simce this is true, there has arisen a sort of priestly ckass, so called tax professionals and accountants and preparers, etc. These people while filling a niche demand that may help some people are still essentially grifters off the vast majority of working Americans.
    The FIT is an excise tax, always has been since it inception in 1862. Surprised?!? Bet you thought the tax started in 1914 with the 16thA. The were a series of SCOTUS rulings, Brushaber, Stanton Mining, etc, that clearly show that the FIT is an excise tax and the 16thA does not alter the comstitutional proscription on a capitation tax on individuals. See Article 1, secrion 2, clause 3, and Article 1, section 9, clause 4.
    When American workers fill out and sign a w4, they are allowing their payer, the compqny or individual they wirk for, to withhold taxes and report their earnings as "wages", i.e , federal "income" which is taxable under 26usc.
    See how that works? The federal govt uses private sector businesses to basically trick people into identifying their non-taxable earnings, which arent taxable, as "wages" which are taxable. This is also known as constructional fraud, but dont hold you breath for the AG to do anything about it
    All this fraud can be traved back historically to WWII and the Victory Tax. Prior to WWII, people knew the true nature of the tax laws and very few actually filed returns. All this is proveable and available for people to read and apprehend if so inclined. It will blow your mind.

    Social security benefits maybe shouldn’t be taxed at all, because it was taxed, also paid ahead for those benefits for certain amount for decades long. Also if hardworking Americans love to work after retiring age will be discouraged. Moreover, if hardworking Americans’ social security benefits can’t be enjoyed, but paying never paid taxes and never worked for building our country America’s greatness and illegally across the borders and getting paid all of Americans’ benefits, surely many Americans will be sad and unhappy by talking much of this issue. Maybe help some American homeless, or disabled veterans and injured policemen, also using some money to help Americans to get rid of the drug addictions, training working skills, or single parents, or orphans for appropriate growing and stable life. If Americans’ own harder life or situations can’t be taken care of, then the whole world will wonder why or how. Also too many homeless tents and dirty garbages around everywhere, it will damage America’s greatness images quickly. 45 years ago, I came to America, clean, organized and courteous Americans are very friendly toward each other. Also plenty of jobs for hardworking Americans to live in stable life by freedoms and equality of opportunities principles and societies. Less or rarely to see looting, robberies or murdering crimes openly to force major Department stores to shut down or close. Hotels or motels were open normally for booming economy growing atmosphere or for booming tourism activities. I guess the stable jobs made Americans happier and stronger patriotism spirit for America’s flags. Also strong economy supported strong defense capabilities to show America’s greatness, strength and Americans’ happiness altogether as the world leadership status efforts for peace efforts toward peace in the world. American dreams were spreading out as proud to be Americans. America 🇺🇸 was so united together by building our country America’s greatness together and preserving freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles to ensure America’s greatness by America’s recognitions and principles. Kindness nature are very much promoted by Christianity spirit influences as Americans together to love our country together always. We could achieve in the past, we can achieve now and in the future together again. America is America, but America’s greatness and strength will boom entire world’s economy growing. America’s high tech support will make peace efforts, more entrepreneurship spirit encouragement, America’s kindness nature will help achieve all to live better by efforts, correct motivations of freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities, also the longevity of the earth through America’s principles, patriotism spirit, efforts by greatness, strength and happiness and kindness altogether. This is why we must focus on America’s principles, getting things done quickly together, efforts without hesitation, power of alliances, communication abilities accompanied with strategies as America’s experiences for getting things done quickly together and govern bylaws afterwards together quickly to preserve freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of the opportunities together by loving our country America dearly together.
