Learn how to potentially minimize or eliminate the amount of taxes you pay on your Social Security Benefits
We’ll show you ways to help you keep more of the benefits that you’ve earned.
We’ll revolutionize the way you think about your Social Security benefits and where you take your income from in retirement.
People think it doesn't matter what types of accounts they have (taxable, pre-tax, tax-free, etc.) or where they take their money from in retirement, but it does—and we’ll show you why!
Did you know that other sources of income, taxable or not, may force as much as 85% of your Social Security benefits into the taxable column?

Social Security Myths
“But Social Security benefits are never taxed, are they?”
Not true! They’re always potentially taxable, depending on a few factors. Even if you’ve never paid taxes on your benefits in the past, there are certain situations – like reaching RMD age – that may put up to 85% of your benefits into the taxable column. Knowing the truth is important, because understanding that you might be subjecting your Social Security benefits to taxation may actually help keep your benefits from being taxed—simply by changing your portfolio’s withdrawal strategy!
Social Security Myths
“Sure, maybe Social Security benefits can be taxable, but if so, there’s nothing I can do about it, right?”
How much you pay in taxes on your Social Security benefits may actually be entirely in your control. It’s just a matter of having a distribution strategy, and working with someone who understands how the system works. That’s one way that we aim to help you.
Social Security Myths
“An advisor is only there to help my money to grow. Aren’t Social Security strategies too complex for most advisors to understand anyway?”
These strategies don’t play into a lot of advisors’ recommendations for their clients simply because they don’t understand how Social Security works, or how a strategy for Social Security that’s integrated with their financial plan may help them lower their overall tax bill. You’ll want help from a financial advisor who understands how integrating Social Security with your overall retirement plan can potentially result in some big tax savings—not to mention the possibility of receiving a larger lifetime benefit. It’s important that you know about the strategies available to you. With the right strategy, you might be able to pay zero taxes on your Social Security benefits or receive the highest benefit amount available.

In many cases, yes! With this offer, we’ll show you ways to potentially structure your portfolio in a tax-advantaged manner so that you won’t ever pay more taxes than you have to on your Social Security benefits—you may even pay no taxes at all!
Social Security taxation is the government’s way of taking back some of the Social Security benefits they’ve promised you’ll get, and it’s affecting a lot more people now than it used to.
The income thresholds for taxation of benefits have been fixed since they were implemented back in 1983 and 1993. Because of this, more people are required to pay taxes on at least some of their benefits now than ever before—and the amount of taxable benefits is going to continue to rise.
