Innovative Alternatives to Long-term Care
Storen Financial’s Investment team along with OneAmerica representative, Scott Hall, will explain the pros, cons, and alternatives to long-term care insurance and how it factors into your comprehensive financial plan. The discussion will focus on asset-based long-term care insurance, an innovative alternative to traditional long-term care insurance that can provide protection for the potential 20-30 years of retirement when life disruptions from long-term health conditions can occur.

The Trifecta of IRA Tax Planning
Storen Financial’s Investment team will educate on these three important actions you can take with your tax-qualified (IRA) monies to affect your current and future tax situations:
- Roth conversions – Pay tax today to allow money to grow on a tax-free basis moving forward, ultimately giving you the flexibility in retirement to control your annual bill.
- Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts – Move up to $200k of your IRA dollars into a specific type of annuity contract which allows you to delay required distributions until age 85 instead of 73. This will reduce your required taxable income, thereby sheltering more assets to pass on to loved ones or use for increased healthcare costs as you age.
- Qualified Charitable Distributions – Make your charitable donations directly from your IRA by utilizing your required annual distributions. This enables you to give more while never paying taxes on these dollars.

Tax-Smart Distribution Strategies for Retirement
Moving from the saving phase into the retirement income phase introduces some very important decisions on when and how to generate the necessary money to support your lifestyle. It can also introduce significant risks. Storen Financial’s Investment Team will discuss safe withdrawal strategies you can utilize to address and eliminate these risks, focusing on tax-responsible ways to generate income from your portfolio in combination with Social Security and personal pensions. We will also discuss how Social Security benefits are taxed and the impact of retirement income on Medicare costs, as these factors will play a part in sustaining your retirement lifestyle.
