Retirement Contributions & Withdrawals
“Would it make sense for me to do a Roth conversion now?”
Whether a Roth conversion makes sense often depends on current and expected future tax brackets, the timing of retirement income, and whether there is cash available outside the account to cover the tax cost. It can also matter how long the converted funds may stay invested, along with any impact on Medicare premiums, Social Security taxation, or state income tax treatment. In some cases, a conversion is more appealing during a lower-income year, while in others the upfront tax cost can outweigh the potential benefits. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
