Retirement For Life

Your Top Questions About Roth Conversions - Answered! - Ep 37


Listen Later

Roth conversions present one of the largest financial opportunities for a generation of savers, especially for those in their 60s with substantial retirement account balances. We address the six most common questions from our viral Hidden Roth Conversion video that generated nearly 1,000 comments and 100,000 views in its first hour.

• How to pay taxes on Roth conversions without substantial cash reserves
• Converting retirement funds while still employed, even when your employer doesn't offer Roth options
• Understanding how Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and Roth conversions work together
• Accounting for healthcare costs and IRMAA surcharges during conversion years
• Why the math works even when considering the opportunity cost of paying taxes early
• Addressing concerns about potential future taxation of Roth accounts

We encourage everyone, especially those with substantial IRA or 401(k) balances, to consider Roth conversion strategies before potential tax law changes make them less effective. The sooner you get started, the better off you'll be.
