Retirement Contributions & Withdrawals
“Should I do a Roth conversion this year?”
A Roth conversion can be worth weighing when current income, expected future tax brackets, and the timing of withdrawals all line up in a favorable way. The answer often depends on whether this year’s taxable income is unusually low, how much room there is in the current bracket before other income pushes it higher, and whether the account owner expects different tax treatment in retirement. State tax differences, Medicare premium effects, and the source of funds used to pay any resulting tax can also matter. The decision is often less about a single year and more about the longer-term pattern of income and account balances. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
