14 TWO FOR TOMORROW CLICK TO EDIT MASTER TITLE STYLE YOUR RETIREMENT. PLAN FOR LIFE. ® Many tax planning strategies emphasize the deferral of current income taxes, on the basis that your federal income tax rate may be lower at retirement. Please keep in mind that federal income tax rates are unpredictable and may be higher when you take a distribution than at the time of deferral. Other factors, including state tax rates and your income, may also affect your overall tax rate upon distribution.
