A Roth IRA conversion could be a smart move for your retirement strategy. By converting funds from a traditional IRA or 401(k) to a Roth IRA, you pay taxes now in exchange for tax-free benefits later. Here’s why it might be worth considering:
- Tax-free growth and withdrawals – Once converted, your investments grow tax-free, and withdrawals in retirement (after age 59½ and meeting the 5-year rule) are also tax-free.
- No Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) – Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs don’t require you to take withdrawals at a certain age, allowing your savings to grow longer.
- Lower future taxes – Pay taxes now, potentially at a lower rate, to avoid higher taxes later — especially if tax rates rise.
- Estate planning advantages – Roth IRAs offer tax-free withdrawals for beneficiaries, making them a great tool for passing on wealth efficiently.
- More retirement flexibility – Roth IRA funds provide a tax-free income source, helping manage your overall tax burden, Medicare premiums, and Social Security taxes.
Thinking about a Roth conversion? Make sure to consider your current and future tax situation. Consulting with your Signet Financial advisor can help you decide if it’s the right move for you!
