Tax Planning: 401k Vs Roth 401k | The Pilot's Planner

On this episode:

Tax planning might not be the most exciting topic, but it’s certainly an important one. In this week’s episode, Scott and Marc chat about the differences between traditional 401ks and the increasingly popular Roth 401k when it comes to taxes. For pilots, the 401k is often the largest wealth-building tool, so it’s very important to understand how to navigate them and how they could affect your taxes now and in the future.

Listen in as we discuss the potential downsides of deferring taxes and how getting your 401k ‘debt-free’ can save you a lot of money down the road. Throughout the conversation, we’ll touch on the impact of required minimum distributions (RMDs) and IRMAA charges on your retirement savings and how proactive tax planning can save you from unexpected costs in the future.
