I want to share with you three ways to create potentially tax-free income. In full disclosure, they’re not the only options, but I feel these three options are readily easily to facilitate for the masses:
- “All Things Roth” – You’ve already paid taxes on your contributions, funds grow tax-deferred, and if you follow the rules, distributions come out tax-free.
- Nic’s Note: Your contributions in a Roth IRA can be accessed at any time without penalty.
- Cash Value Life Insurance – You can technically “borrow” your cash value; therefore it’s non-reported income for tax purposes.
- Nic’s Note: In most cases, you need to be able to not touch your contributions for 10-15 years before accessing funds.
- Health Savings Account – The most efficient of the tax-free options discussed. Your contributions are pre-tax, earnings are tax-deferred, and qualified medical expense withdrawals are tax-free. In essence, these funds can potentially NEVER be taxed!

Roth withdrawals of earnings prior to age 591/2 or prior to the account being opened for 5 years, whichever is later, may result in a 10% IRS penalty tax.
