Listen Later

Now that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has made the 2017 tax rates permanent, more retirees are taking a fresh look at Roth conversions.

But there's one rule that even reputable sources struggle to explain clearly—and the confusion can lead to costly mistakes.

In this episode, I'm simplifying the Roth conversion 5-year rule and sharing:

→ Why the rule is so confusing (and what most people get wrong)

→ The fastest way to determine how the rule applies to your specific situation

→ 4 real-world scenarios so you can see exactly how it works

If Roth conversions aren't a fit today, I'm also sharing one simple step everyone can take right now to make future conversions much easier.
