Listen "How Ohio’s 2.75% Flat Tax Could Supercharge Your Retirement Savings"
Episode Synopsis
This video explains how Ohio’s new 2.75% flat-rate income tax creates opportunities to accelerate retirement savings. By lowering the state tax burden, more of your income can be redirected toward IRAs, 401(k)s, or other investment accounts—helping you build long-term wealth faster. Key Takeaways ✅ Ohio is moving to a 2.75% flat income tax – By 2026, most residents earning above $26,500 will pay a single flat rate, while those below that threshold will pay no state income tax, potentially saving thousands for higher earners. ✅ Tax savings can supercharge retirement – Even modest annual savings redirected into retirement accounts like a Roth IRA can compound significantly over decades, turning a few hundred or thousand dollars a year into hundreds of thousands by retirement. ✅ Ohio becomes more competitive regionally – With one of the lowest state income tax rates in the Midwest, Ohio could attract businesses and workers, strengthening the economy, stabilizing the housing market, and supporting retirees.We are one of Ramsey Solutions and @TheRamseyShow largest Smartvestor Pros in the country because we live and believe in the process that Dave Ramsey and his team teach to provide people financial freedom.We also have a @TheRamseyShowEpisodes Financial Coach on staff to help with budgeting and debt pay-down strategies.
