Roth Conversions: The Tax Planning Window Most Retirees Miss
Between the day you stop working and the day RMDs begin at 73, you control your taxable income like never before. That window is where strategic Roth conversions can save a household hundreds of thousands in lifetime taxes.
Why Convert at All
Every dollar in a Traditional IRA is a future tax bill — for you, your spouse, and your heirs. Converting moves money to a Roth, where it grows tax-free, comes out tax-free, has no RMDs, and passes to your children tax-free.
How Much, and When
The art is converting just enough each year to 'fill up' a low tax bracket without spilling into the next one or triggering IRMAA. In a down market, conversions are even more powerful — you move shares at depressed prices and let the recovery happen tax-free.
Run the Numbers Before You Convert
A Roth conversion is irreversible. We build a multi-year conversion roadmap that balances current taxes, future RMDs, Social Security taxation, IRMAA brackets, and legacy goals — so you convert with confidence.
