Michigan's auto industry has gone through major changes over the past two decades, and many retirees from GM, Ford, and Chrysler have seen their retirement benefits shift. If you have a lump-sum buyout option from an auto pension, the decision about how to invest that money is critical. We help Michigan auto retirees make the right choice.
Michigan has a flat 4.25% state income tax. Under the 2023 'Lowering MI Costs Plan,' the pension and retirement income deduction is being phased back in over four years. Beginning with tax year 2026, most retirees can fully deduct qualifying pension and retirement-account income — but only if their withdrawal strategy is structured to qualify.
Many Michigan retirees become snowbirds, spending winters in Florida. We're headquartered in Florida and licensed in Michigan, making us the perfect partner for dual-state retirees who want their finances managed seamlessly year-round.
Michigan also has the Homestead Property Tax Credit, which can refund a meaningful portion of property taxes for senior homeowners and renters. We coordinate this credit with your annual income plan so you're capturing every dollar you're entitled to.

Common Retirement Questions from Michigan Clients
"I got a pension buyout offer from my auto company — what should I do?"
Pension lump-sum buyouts from auto companies are life-changing decisions. Take the lump sum and you need to invest it wisely. Keep the pension and you get guaranteed monthly income. We help Michigan auto retirees model both scenarios and often find that a combination — partial lump sum rolled into an annuity — provides the best outcome.
Compare lump sum vs. lifetime income"I'm a Michigan snowbird — how do I manage finances in two states?"
We help snowbirds structure their accounts, establish proper tax residency, and manage their retirement income across both states. Since we're headquartered in Florida and licensed in Michigan, we understand both sides of the equation.
See retirement planning"My state pension doesn't cover all my expenses"
Michigan state and municipal pensions provide a solid foundation, but they don't always keep up with inflation. We help Michigan pensioners supplement their income with guaranteed annuity payments that fill the gap between their pension and their actual expenses.
Learn about income riders"How does the new Michigan pension deduction phase-in actually work for me?"
The 2023 law restores the pension and retirement income deduction over four years, with full restoration in tax year 2026. Depending on your birth year, you can elect to use the older 'three-tier' rules or the new 'phase-in' rules — whichever produces a lower tax. We run both calculations annually and help you elect the better option.
Plan a tax-aware withdrawal mix"I'm a public school teacher (MPSERS) — how do I coordinate my pension with Social Security?"
MPSERS retirees who didn't pay into Social Security through teaching can be hit by the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset. We calculate your actual reduction, identify any Social Security earned through other employment, and use annuity income to backfill the gap.
