Tax-free retirement account – What it is, and what it isn’t
Since I covered the basics of tax-free retirement accounts in this space, I have received several requests for additional information about TFRAs. I will answer a few of those questions here.
5 Reasons I Believe in the Tax-Free Retirement Account (TFRA)
Taxes are Increasing
Unless Congress acts taxes will automatically increase in 2026. If your only source of retirement savings is your 401(k), every penny of that money will be taxed later at some unknown rate. I want to help you prepare for the tax train headed your way.
No volatility
Although the past several years have seen market growth, what happens when it goes down again? With a TFRA, you are protected from market loss. Because your account value is locked in, when the market goes down you do not suffer a loss.
Liquidity
With a 401(k) or IRA, you have limited access to your money until age 59 ½. In the TFRA, your money is always liquid. You can access the cash at any age tax-free. Essentially, you are your own bank.
Living Benefits
Benefits you don’t have to die to access that work similarly to a long-term care policy. These benefits can help relieve the financial stress and bring peace of mind during a chronic, critical or terminal illness.
Permanent Death Benefit
Permanent coverage ensures your family is protected, no matter what happens or when. With the recent pandemic in mind, I encourage you to think about what would happen if you died too soon without a plan in place for your family.
