You're not taxed on that. You can reduce your taxable income by that amount when you contribute to that retirement plan. But when you withdraw in retirement, you pay taxes on that. So, think of the strategy as more like a tax deferral. Get a tax break today, but pay taxes later on.” – Mike Jesowshek, CPA______ Podcast Host: Mike Jesowshek, CPA - Founder and Host of Small Business Tax Savings PodcastJoin Our Tax Minimization Program: https://www.taxsavingspodcast.com/tax IncSight Packages: https://incsight.net/pricing/ Book an Initial Consultation: https://app.simplymeet.me/o/incsight/sale-------Podcast Website: https://www.TaxSavingsPodcast.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/taxsavings/--------To find out more on this topic and many others visit our website at www.TaxSavingsPodcast.com.
