The Insured Retirement Institute wants President Barack Obama to mention the importance of tax incentives for retirement savings in his State of the Union address tonight.

The organization, which leads a national consumer coalition of more than 20 organizations that represent insured retirement strategies, said that when tax reform was all the rage, the topic of retirement savings was at the forefront of the national conversation, but lately it has dropped off the radar.

The IRI believes that any plan to reduce or eliminate tax deferral for retirement savings would be detrimental to those working toward a financially secure retirement.
