Is a Roth Conversion Right for You?

We believe most investors should consider including a Roth IRA in their overall financial plan; as their investments are able to grow tax free and provide them with a great source of tax-free income in retirement. If you have not already contributed to a Roth IRA, converting funds from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA can be a great way to fund Roth IRAs. This year provides a unique opportunity for investors as the income limitations for Roth IRA conversions no longer exists, allowing most investors to convert their Traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. If you are considering a Roth conversion please give us a call to set up a FREE in-person consultation. You need more than an online calculator to tell you if a Roth conversion is right for you; rather, you need an advisor who can help you consider the important questions:

·         When will I need to use my retirement savings?

·         What tax bracket will I be in the future?

·         How will I pay the taxes caused by a conversion?

·         How will a conversion affect my heirs and their taxes?

·         How much should I convert?

·         What assets in my Traditional IRA should I convert?
