The Philadelphia Retirement Reality
Philadelphia retirees benefit from Pennsylvania's broad retirement income exemptions - the state does not tax Social Security, pension income, or IRA/401(k) withdrawals at retirement. The city of Philadelphia also provides a senior tax freeze program for property taxes. With an inheritance tax but no estate tax, IUL strategies that benefit named beneficiaries are especially relevant.
