How Is Your 401(k) Taxed When You Retire?
As with other income, distributions from traditional 401(k) and traditional IRA accounts are taxed on an incremental basis, with steadily higher rates for progressively higher tiers of income. As of the 2018 tax year, rates were reduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; however, the basic structure, comprising seven tax brackets, remains intact. For example, a married couple that files jointly and together earns $80,000 would pay 10% tax on the first $13,600 of income, 12% on the next $38,200, and 22% on the remaining $28,200.

How to Maximize Your Tax Returns in 2019
With April 15 the tax deadline, the clock is ticking on ways Americans can keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets -- and less of it in Uncle Sam's. The problem is, U.S. taxpayers have historically left too much tax return money on the table -- mostly because they haven't taken or known about all the breaks and deductions that were allowable. Furthermore, the report states that American taxpayers routinely sell themselves short on their tax returns, walking away from money they could have saved, especially in key areas like retirement savings and claiming U.S. government tax deductions and benefits.

Is This The Tipping Point For Electric Vehicles?
A new report by McKinsey forecasts a rapid switch from gas guzzlers to electric vehicles on the world's roads will be boosted by the plummeting costs of owning a battery powered vehicle. The consulting firm's 2019 Global Energy Perspective report foresees a two-thirds drop in the cost of EV battery packs by 2030. The tipping point at which EVs will be cheaper to own than internal combustion engine-powered vehicles is forecast to be reached in the early 2020s: The timing of total cost of ownership (TCO) parity in the U.S. and China is comparable to Europe, with China slightly earlier and the U.S. slightly later, reflecting differences in fuel taxation and subsidies for electric vehicles.
