What is a Roth Conversion and How Does it Work?
A Roth conversion allows you to move money from a
tax-deferred account like a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA.
You pay taxes today, but future withdrawals may be tax-free.
When is the Best Time to do a Roth Conversion?
Typically during lower-income years,
before required minimum distributions begin,
and before tax rates increase..
How Much Should you Convert at Once?
That depends on your tax bracket.
Converting too much in one year can push you
into a higher bracket and increase taxes.
Can a Roth Conversion Increase Medicare Costs?
Yes. Large conversions can trigger IRMAA,
increasing Medicare premiums for one or more years.
When Does a Roth Conversion Make Sense?
Before RMD age (currently 73)
During lower income years
When you expect higher future tax rates
When reducing future taxable income is a priority
