Most people still believe they will be in a lower tax bracket when they retire. For many taxpayers, this is not true. Your bracket may decrease, however, your effective tax rate probably will not.
As you lose deductions and exemptions, you may actually pay a greater percentage of your income for federal and local taxes. Try to arrange your retirement income so that some of it is paid from tax free investments
