Strategic planning for a secure financial future.
Eleanor recently inherited a $1.8 million Traditional IRA following her husband's passing. At 68, she's concerned about generating sufficient income to maintain her lifestyle, while also minimizing the significant tax burden associated with required minimum distributions (RMDs) and potential estate taxes. She's overwhelmed by the complexities and unsure how to best manage this newfound wealth.
Using Golden Door Asset's Tax Equivalent Yield Calculator, we demonstrated how different investment options would perform after accounting for taxes. By comparing tax-advantaged municipal bonds against taxable corporate bonds, we found a higher after-tax yield with the municipal bonds. We strategically diversified her portfolio, allocating $750,000 into municipal bonds yielding 3.5%, which is equivalent to a 5.2% taxable yield for her tax bracket. This provided a stable income stream while minimizing her tax liability, and allowed her to delay some RMD withdrawals.
The Tax Equivalent Yield Calculator facilitated a clear comparison between different investment options by factoring in Eleanor's marginal tax rate. The results informed our asset allocation decisions, resulting in improved after-tax income.
