We tackle the often-overlooked issue of retirement tax liability and explore strategies to create tax-free income streams for a potentially more secure financial future.

• Understanding the "mortgage" on qualified plans (401(k)s, IRAs) where the IRS owns an unknown percentage of your savings
• The current "tax sale" has been extended but will eventually end with rates likely rising dramatically
• Strategic Roth IRA conversions can move money from tax-deferred to tax-free status during this window of opportunity 
• "Super Roth" life insurance policies offer tax-free income, death benefits, and potential long-term care coverage
• Tax location matters as much as asset allocation - having the right balance of tax-free, tax-deferred, and taxable accounts
• The tax snowball effect in retirement impacts Social Security taxation, Medicare premiums, and available deductions
• Some retirees can achieve a 0% tax bracket by properly structuring their retirement income sources
