Retire Early (before age 59 1/2)
If you have a 403(b) plan, and are going to retire early, which we define as at any age younger than age 59 1/2, then you have several choices:
- Roll your 403(b) plan values into an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) with an insurance company, or
- Roll your 403(b) plan values into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with a qualified custodian, or
- Leave your plan balance with your current employer.
Which choice, or choices, is best for you and your family?
Avoid the Tax Trap!
If you start taking income from your 403(b), or an IRA Rollover, your income will be subject to ordinary income taxes. If that income is received prior to age 59 1/2, then there is a 10% excise tax, in addition to the ordinary income tax.
Would you like to avoid paying that 10% excise tax when you retire early? That is where a Chartered Financial Consultant can help you!
If your 403(b) plan includes life insurance inside the plan, there are some decisions that you need to make, including some decisions that cannot be undone if you make a mistake. These decisions are best made with the help of a Chartered Life Underwriter.
