Describe Payout Options Available at Retirement
Before deciding on the manner in which you want to receive your retirement payouts, make sure that you understand the tax consequences of your decision. Look at all of your investment payouts and retirement payouts together. Consider the pros and cons of an annuity versus a lump-sum payout. Plan your payouts to minimize your taxes.
