Tax-Free Income Planning: Why It Matters
Tax Exposure Can Limit Retirement Flexibility
Many retirement savings are tax-deferred. That means rising tax rates could impact how much you actually keep, especially when you begin withdrawing income.
The Tax Landscape Is Changing
Tax laws evolve. Building tax-free income sources today may give you more adaptability in an unpredictable legislative and economic environment.
Families Want More Than Just Growth
Most people we work with aren’t just planning for themselves—they’re planning for a spouse, kids, or a legacy. Tax-free strategies can support those goals.

Fredericks Wealth Management is part of a national network focused on helping clients plan for rising taxes through the Power of Zero philosophy.
This approach aims to help individuals move toward tax-free retirement income through strategies designed around Roth conversions, asset repositioning, and long-term income coordination.
