The role of a Roth IRA conversion in your plan
To lower the taxes you pay in retirement. Because money deposited in a Roth is from after-tax income, you don’t pay income tax when you withdraw the funds in retirement.
Is a Roth IRA conversion for you?
If you pay the taxes on the converted amount now, you’ll watch your money grow tax-free for longer and enjoy tax-free withdrawals in retirement. While traditional IRAs require minimum distributions at age 72, in a Roth, you are not required to take any distributions during your lifetime, allowing you to leave a tax-free inheritance to your beneficiaries.
Stat
Beneficiary IRAs must be closed out in 10 years. Distributions from a Roth Beneficiary IRA are not taxable events.
Why United Wealth Management
We’re always striving to do right by you—to educate, empower and guide you to a more prosperous future. These tools with our guidance go a long way.
Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA.
