Retirement Tax Planning

Retirement Tax Planning

Plan for the tax side of retirement.

Retirement brings a different set of income decisions. Whether you are approaching retirement or already there, you may have questions about withdrawals, benefits, and how your income sources fit together.

Nikol Shapiro, CPA helps you consider those decisions from a tax perspective. Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, she’ll start with your current situation, your expected income, and the questions that matter most to you.

Make sense of your retirement income questions.

Bring your plans and account information to the conversation. Nikol can help you identify the tax considerations to review before making changes.

  • The transition from employment income to retirement income
  • Retirement account withdrawals and distribution questions
  • Pension and Social Security income in your tax picture
  • Roth conversion questions and planning scenarios
  • Withholding and estimated tax payment needs
  • How part-time work or investment income fits into your plans

What does the planning process look like?

  1. Talk about your retirement timeline

    Share when you expect to retire, or how your income has changed since retiring. Discuss your spending needs and the decisions you are considering.

  2. Review income sources and scenarios

    Nikol will review your available records and discuss the tax questions around different income choices. You can explore what information is needed before deciding.

  3. Identify the next steps

    Leave with a clearer understanding of what to review, what documents to gather, and when to follow up as your income or plans change.

What should you bring to the conversation?

Start with the records you have. Nikol can help identify what else is needed for your situation.

  • Your most recent tax return
  • Current retirement and investment account statements
  • Pension and Social Security benefit statements or estimates
  • Records of withdrawals and tax withholding
  • Expected retirement date, income needs, and any planned major transactions

Use the contact form for your initial inquiry. Nikol will explain how to share sensitive financial documents.

If you need help preparing your individual return, discuss that with Nikol too. Your current filing questions can help shape the planning conversation.
