In this episode, we tackle a question that many retirees and soon-to-be retirees ask: Are taxes already taken out of pensions? The answer might surprise you! We’ll break down the details, explaining how pension income is typically treated as taxable income and what that means for you.

We'll explore federal tax obligations, including why taxes aren't automatically withheld from pension payments and how you can adjust withholding by submitting IRS Form W-4P. Plus, we’ll dive into state-specific tax rules, with a focus on Georgia’s unique tax benefits for retirees. If you're 62 or older, Georgia offers generous exclusions on pension income and even exempts Social Security benefits from state taxes.

Tune in to learn how to plan your pension income and tax strategy to avoid any surprises when tax season rolls around!
