Many of us assume that we'll be in a lower tax bracket when we retire. But, in our new retirement reality, that's not always the case.

On this week's episode of the Retirement Solutions Show, we discuss the variety of factors that can either lower or increase our tax obligations in retirement.

Key takeaways:

• Things like Social Security, Required Minimum Distributions, and Pensions can affect your tax obligations because they are seen as "ordinary income" in the eyes of the IRS.
