Understanding Roth IRA Conversions
Transferring funds from a pre-tax retirement account, such as an IRA, to an after-tax Roth IRA is a strategy that many retirement savers are considering.
Benefits of a Roth Conversion
- Avoid Future Taxes: By converting to a Roth IRA, you lock in your tax rate now and avoid potential increases in the future.
- Eliminate Required Minimum Distributions: Roth IRAs are not subject to RMDs during the account owner's lifetime.
- Tax-Free Growth: Funds in a Roth IRA grow tax-free, providing long-term benefits.
Implementing the Strategy
Consider converting 20% of your IRA annually to effectively manage your tax burden over time.
