Spend RMDs, or Reduce Reduce Distributions and Taxes With Roth Conversions? - 498

  • Summary

  • Hawkeye and Elle are age 61 and in the 32% tax bracket. How should they get money into their Roth accounts for tax-free retirement income? Clark and Ellen are 69 and 68, expenses will pretty much be covered by their fixed income, but they’d like to leave Roth money to their kids. Should they keep converting to Roth, or use required minimum distributions for their living expenses? Tom and his wife are 73, and fixed income will cover their retirement spending too. Is it advantageous to them to make three huge Roth conversions beyond their marginal tax bracket to reduce future RMDs? Should they keep things simple by leaving their money in an S&P 500 Index Fund? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 498 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA.
