Indiana is in the middle of a multi-year reduction of its flat income tax (currently 3.05% and scheduled to keep dropping toward 2.9%). Coordinating Roth conversions and account placement with that schedule can produce real lifetime savings.

Indiana's cost of living is lower than the national average, which means your retirement savings can stretch further here. But you still need a plan to make sure your income keeps up with rising healthcare costs, property taxes, and everyday expenses. We help Indiana residents build guaranteed income streams that last for life.
Many Indiana residents work for large employers like Eli Lilly, Cummins, or the federal government. If you're approaching retirement with a 401(k), TSP, or pension, the decisions you make about rollovers, Social Security timing, and income strategy can mean tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. We help you get those decisions right.
Indiana has a flat state income tax of 3.05%, plus county taxes. Tax-deferred annuities can help you minimize your tax burden by deferring growth until you're in a lower bracket in retirement. We help Indiana clients structure their accounts for maximum tax efficiency.
Indiana also offers a $16,000 military retirement income deduction and a $200 unified tax credit for the elderly (income-tested). For veterans and lower-income retirees, these credits often go unclaimed simply because no one ran the numbers. We do.

Common Retirement Questions from Indiana Clients
"I'm retiring from a large Indiana employer with a 401(k) — what do I do?"
Rolling over your 401(k) into a properly structured IRA or annuity is one of the most important decisions you'll make. We help Indiana retirees evaluate their options — lump sum vs. annuity, traditional vs. Roth — and choose the strategy that maximizes your lifetime income.
Explore 401(k) rollover options"I want guaranteed income but Indiana taxes concern me"
While Indiana's income tax is relatively low, tax-deferred annuities still offer a significant advantage. Your money compounds without annual taxation, and when you withdraw, you may be in a lower bracket. We help you model the tax impact and choose the most efficient strategy.
See fixed index annuities"I'm a federal employee in Indiana — can you help with my benefits?"
Yes. John Ziesing is an FRC-certified Federal Benefit Consultant. We help federal employees at Crane Naval Base, Fort Benjamin Harrison, and other Indiana federal facilities optimize their FERS, TSP, FEHB, and FEGLI benefits.
FRC federal benefits consulting"I'm a military retiree in Indiana — how does the $16,000 deduction work?"
Indiana lets military retirees subtract up to $16,000 of military retirement and survivor benefit income from state taxable income. We coordinate that deduction with your VA disability income, federal taxes, and any second-career income to make sure you capture the full benefit each year.
See retirement planning"My county tax just went up — how does that affect my retirement plan?"
Indiana counties set their own local income tax rates, which range from about 0.5% to 3.0% on top of the 3.05% state rate. A change in your county rate (or a move to a different county) can shift your effective rate by a full percentage point. We model your specific county and revisit it whenever rates change.
