Retirement Red Flags Workshop Aims to Help Iowa Retirees Navigate 2026 Tax Changes
Retirement Red Flags is hosting a November workshop in West Des Moines to help retirees identify overlooked financial risks and prepare for upcoming 2026 tax law changes that could impact retirement income, Social Security, and estate plans.
Retirees across Iowa are questioning whether they have done enough preparation for their retirement years, even after decades of saving and planning. Retirement Red Flags is addressing these concerns by hosting the "2025 Annual Retiree Update" workshop this November in West Des Moines, designed specifically for retirees who feel mostly prepared but want to identify overlooked risks before 2026 changes take effect.
"This isn't about scaring people," said Nate Crannell, co-founder of Retirement Red Flags. "It's about giving people the peace of mind that comes from knowing they've looked under every stone. Most retirees are 95% ready. We help them find the last 5% that can make all the difference."
The workshop will educate attendees on how 2026 tax changes may impact retirement income, Social Security benefits, and estate planning strategies. Participants will learn about common mistakes retirees make when drawing income from retirement accounts and simple strategies that can protect spouses or heirs from unnecessary taxes and financial risk. The session will also feature real-world stories of retirement planning oversights and practical advice on how to avoid similar pitfalls.
The event will be held on Tuesday, November 18th from 9am to 12pm and Wednesday, November 19th from 1pm to 4pm at The Venue in Valley Junction, West Des Moines. The $50 registration fee includes a workbook and refreshments, with all proceeds being donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Each session is limited to 50 participants to maintain an intimate, conversational setting that allows for personalized attention and detailed discussions.
