Retirement Contributions & Withdrawals
“Should I consider a Roth conversion this year?”
A Roth conversion can be worth evaluating when current income, expected future tax brackets, and the size and timing of other withdrawals all point to a different tax picture later on. The answer often depends on whether this year’s income is unusually low or high, how long the funds may stay invested after the conversion, and whether the move could affect Medicare premiums, credits, or other items tied to adjusted income. In many cases, the broader retirement mix, including traditional accounts, Roth balances, and near-term cash needs, shapes whether a conversion fits the overall plan. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
