Since each person's tax situation is unique, and the tax rules can change year to year, it can be challenging to get accurate and timely information.
That is why we've developed a special seminar that has already helped nearly 700,000 people nationwide navigate the retirement tax maze.
Join us at the Riverfront Community Center for an informational seminar covering Taxes In Retirement on May 8 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM.
The seminar will equip you with the most up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding retirement taxation, including ways to efficiently harvest your income sources - whether they are Social Security, 401(k)/IRA, other sources, or a combination of them all. Using the information you'll learn during the seminar, you'll be better positioned to develop a successful retirement tax strategy that can potentially safeguard you from over-taxation - all with the goal of saving you money 
The event is not sponsored nor endorsed by the Town of Glastonbury. For questions, please call (844) 567-7760. <a href="https://events.enlighten567.com/public/TaxesInRetirement/register/65a969b00501350490c79be4.html?utm_source=patch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> PRE REGISTRATION REQUIRED - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER</a>
