We provide personal, one-on-one retirement planning and convenient
virtual meetings from the comfort of your home, office, hospital, or medical practice.

Why Retirement Planning Can Be Different for Physicians

Physicians may spend many years in medical school, residency, fellowship, and training before reaching
their highest earning years.

That can compress the years available to build retirement wealth and make efficient planning especially important.

Over a career, a physician may accumulate several different accounts and benefits, including:

• 401(k) plans
• 403(b) plans
• 457 plans
• Traditional IRAs
• Roth IRAs
• Roth 401(k) or Roth 403(b) accounts
• Taxable brokerage accounts
• Pension or cash balance plans
• Health Savings Accounts
• Business retirement plans for private practice physicians

Roth, Tax-Deferred, and Taxable Accounts

Retirement planning is not only about how much you save.
It is also about where those assets are held and how those accounts may be taxed later.

Physicians may benefit from having retirement assets across multiple tax categories.

Why Tax Diversification Can Matter

Having every retirement dollar in the same type of account can reduce flexibility later.

Maintaining assets across Roth, tax-deferred, and taxable accounts may give you more choices
when deciding where retirement income should come from in a particular year.

The right mix depends on your income, tax situation, age, retirement timeline,
investment strategy, liquidity needs, and long-term goals.

Roth Conversion Planning for Jonesboro Physicians

Physicians with substantial balances in traditional retirement accounts may want to evaluate
whether Roth conversions could fit into their long-term strategy.

A Roth conversion generally involves moving eligible assets from a tax-deferred retirement account
into a Roth account.

The converted amount may create taxable income in the year of conversion,
so Roth conversion planning should be coordinated carefully.

Factors that may matter include:

• Your current tax bracket
• Your expected future tax situation
• Your retirement date
• Required minimum distributions
• Other income sources
• Medicare-related income considerations
• Estate and legacy goals

Partial Roth Conversions

Roth conversion planning does not have to be all or nothing.

Some physicians may choose to evaluate smaller conversions over several years
rather than converting a large retirement account at once.

This may provide more control over taxable income and help coordinate conversions
with other retirement and financial decisions.

Retirement Planning for Hospital-Employed Physicians

Hospital-employed physicians may have access to multiple workplace retirement plans and benefits.

The challenge is deciding how those benefits should work with personal IRAs,
Roth accounts, taxable investments, insurance, and other long-term goals.

We help physicians evaluate the entire retirement picture rather than looking at each account separately.

Retirement Planning for Private Practice Physicians

Physicians who own or participate in a medical practice may face additional planning decisions.

Depending on your situation, these may include:

• Business retirement plans
• Profit-sharing arrangements
• Cash balance plans
• Practice succession planning
• Buy-sell planning
• Key-person insurance
• Personal and business cash flow
• Asset protection considerations

Turning Retirement Savings Into Retirement Income

Accumulating retirement assets is only part of the process.

As retirement approaches, physicians also need a strategy for converting accumulated wealth
into sustainable retirement income.

Retirement-income planning may involve:

• Social Security
• Pension income
• 401(k), 403(b), and IRA withdrawals
• Roth withdrawals
• Taxable investment accounts
• Required minimum distributions
• Cash reserves
• Annuities or lifetime-income strategies when appropriate

Tax-Aware Retirement Planning

Retirement-income decisions can affect your overall tax picture.

Roth conversions, capital gains, required minimum distributions,
Social Security, investment income, and other income sources may interact in different ways.

Mintco Financial can coordinate retirement-planning decisions with your CPA or tax professional when appropriate.

Retirement Planning for Physicians Approaching Retirement

The years immediately before and after retirement may present important planning opportunities.

Physicians may need to coordinate retirement accounts, investment allocations,
Roth conversions, Social Security, required minimum distributions,
insurance, Medicare, and retirement-income needs.

Creating a plan in advance can help these decisions work together rather than being handled one at a time.
