Listen "How Old is Too Old for a Roth Conversion?"
Episode Synopsis
Taxes are set to increase in 2026. And even though it may not feel like it, we are living in a historically low tax rate. In this video, Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy talk through the pros and cons of a Roth Conversion for someone in their 70's. First, the pros: if you convert your IRA to a Roth IRA, you and your beneficiaries will have tax-free withdrawals, all future growth will happen tax-free, and you'll have no Required Minimum Distributions, which means you have better control your tax liability. But before you convert, you should also consider the cons: when you convert, you will pay all those taxes upfront, which could mean a big tax bill in April. And even though we are living in a historically low tax rate, there is uncertainty over future tax rates: they could go higher, they could go lower. If you are in your 70's and considering a Roth Conversion, please give Peter a call to see if it makes sense as part of your financial plan.
