Roth conversions. We've been hearing a lot about them lately on commercials and social media and such, but what are they, and how do they actually work? We'll explore this today on Elevate Wealth. Hey there, I'm Deanne Rosso, and I'm joined again today by our Director of Investment Policy and Wealth Adviser, Rob Fezekas. Hey there, Rob! Hey, Deanne! It's great to be here. Thank you for being with me today. So, Rob, what is a Roth, what are the benefits, and how does a Roth conversion work? Sure, so a Roth account is just another kind of retirement account, so it's like an IRA or a 401k. The big difference is: a Roth account holds after-tax assets, so it's money in the account that's already been taxed. And it's a nice account to have because it means that once money is inside a Roth account, it can grow tax-free, and after certain conditions are met, withdrawals can be tax-free, as well. Gotcha. Yeah, that's that's the biggest benefit to the Roth right, is in retirement. I have somewhere to pull from where I don't have to trigger taxes every time. Exactly right. Well, how does a Roth conversion work, and how do I know that's right for me? A conversion means you're taking money that's in an IRA account and you're going to move it into a Roth account, and we do need to be really careful about that because that's considered taxable income in the year that we do it. I would really encourage anyone who's thinking about that strategy to speak with an expert or somebody who's really knowledgeable with their situation, because we want to avoid any big tax bills, any surprises at the end of the year. Right. So the more we can accumulate in a Roth over time, the better. The more over time we can convert into Roth, perhaps the better for when we're in retirement but just depends on your situation and what your tax rate is, right? That's exactly right. Yeah. So having a plan for that I think is really important. I think it can really help your tax situation in retirement, and that's one of the things that we're here to do for our clients is help you decide whether or not a Roth conversion is right for you.
