Pensions
Brian asked:


I am trying to do some long term planning as to how much money I need to retire. Some people have told me that Social Security is not taxed. Others have said that a government pension is not taxed. I understand the taxes around 401K’s and IRAs. But the tax question around SS and government pensions will make a huge difference in my planning calculations.
