Question

What is retirement tax planning and how is it different from tax filing?

Answer

Retirement tax planning is a forward-looking process that involves analyzing your financial situation and implementing strategies throughout the year to help reduce the taxes you may owe. Tax filing, by contrast, is the annual process of reporting past financial activity to comply with IRS requirements. By the time you file, nearly every decision that shapes your tax liability has already been made. Planning influences what you may owe while filing records what you already owed.
