@missireeason8998 that worry kept me from contributing to any Roth accounts for years. I kept thinking to myself, if they change the rules later on I’d at least be getting some tax benefit now by only contributing to tax deferred accounts. And with the increased out of control government spending my worries have only gotten worse, politicians are going to look for money and retirement accounts are a largely untapped resource. It was only when I reached 45 recently that I decided to hedge my bets and start putting money into a Roth IRA just in case. But I still carry those same worries but… at this point I think our bigger concerns are whether the American dollar still has any value by the time we retire.

While Roth conversions may look attractive when crunching the tax numbers, in my opinion, it's best to recognize that you have no idea what your situation will be in retirement. Specifically, by doing a Roth conversion, you are betting against the odds that you won't have substantial medical expenses later in life. The example I use is my Mom who has dementia and is in a memory care facility, all expenses of which are not covered by insurance or Medicare but are tax-deductible medical expenses on Schedule A. Look it up if you're not convinced. To pay the expenses, she cashed out all her IRA's, but paid ZERO in tax as the withdrawals were offset by medical deductions. Had she taken the advice of the many financial "experts" out there and done a Roth conversion, she would have been left with substantially less. Think about it before doing a Roth conversion.

Also if you have no ordinary income you wouldn't be taxed at 15% tax on capital gains or on dividends. Assuming no ordinary income beyond the standard deduction you can take $89,000 tax free 0% tax. Then $27,500 for standard deduction. So if you pull from taxable you'll be 0% tax on $117,000 a year or roughly $9,700 a month tax free. You just have to take the money out every one year and one day and then pay yourself monthly from a savings account. So like you stated it makes way more sense to live off taxable (especially at 0% tax rate) and keep that roth growing as long as possible.

I think you touched on this briefly in one of your videos, but what would be very helpful would be how to determine, when withdrawing from taxable nonretirement accounts, how much of the withdrawal would be reported income (would show up on your federal tax return). In other words, how to determine the gains, as only the gains would be taxable and therefore would be reported income. This is not so much for determining income tax on the gains but rather for health insurance purposes. This can get very complicated, so I think you could probably make a whole video about it. FYI, the two brokerages I use wouldn't help with this and referred me to a CPA, however, the CPA I talked to (just one so far) didn't seem to have the knowledge to be able to help with this either.

IF you want to leave a legacy to your heirs.. then leaving alone your after tax stock portfolio (or investment rental property for that matter) until you die gives them a step up in basis.. or a tax free gain on the inheritance ... no difference than a roth.. except the taxes on dividends , if there are any while u r alive...

Yes, the step up basis could make a huge difference in your heirs tax liability for capital gain when they sell the stock, especially if its stock that you've held on to for a long time and it has appreciated.

Around 10:37 you say that paying taxes from the taxable account allows you to do a bigger Roth conversion (true) but you then add this will "do a better job at minimizing RMDs down the road". Not sure why that is true, in both cases you have removed $150K from the traditional IRA (in the first case $28K is "wasted" on taxes but it's still gone!) , so that should have the same impact on future RMDs. Having more in the Roth is better for a number of reasons, but I don't see this particular one.
@Andarius Жыл бұрын
It's because you're moving a larger chunk from pre-tax to the Roth. $150k vs $122k. The point is the effective tax rate on the conversion. He's staying out of the 24% bracket in the example.
@kevinmccumber7489 Жыл бұрын
Bernard, good catch. You are right, reducing the tIRA by $150,000 in both scenarios means that future RMDs are the same in both scenarios. More money in the Roth is still better than not, but RMDs will remain the same.
@SafeguardWealthManagement Жыл бұрын
Good catch. You are correct, in the "younger than 63" example, there is a not a change in the minimization of RMDs, just a change in the amount that ends up in the Roth. Where they add on comment came from on the "this will do a better job at minimizing RMDs down the road" was that I've seen some retirees leave room for the capital gains to be realized within the '22% bracket'. The mistake made here is forgetting that capital gains and ordinary income is taxed differently. I just didn't clarify this well enough. In the next example with IRMAA, there would be a difference.

You’re talking only about taxes when you are forced to take out of tax deferred accounts (e.g., trad IRA), ironically mentioning that the tax burden would be higher, because you would have too much money (and thus, be taxed more on your mandatory distributions)! The amount that is taxed going in to the Roth IRA, for instance, is taxed at the earning rate when you are in your best earning years. The question is, when is it better to be taxed, before or after? With traditional IRAs, you reduce your tax burden while you are working at your job. That difference (including the time value of that extra early taxation) is the reason you’ll have too much money and be taxed on a mandatory distribution. But if you are retired, you won’t have to deal with your job’s income and will have a nice problem if you get enough back to have to pay taxes (for the first time) on this money. Just my opinion, thanks.

A little late after publishing, but while your math is 100% correct, and you planning is sound, is there an assumption when you are talking about the roth conversions, that income is still coming in that is covering for annual expenses? Using a simple example of a $1 million IRA, $500k Taxable, and $500 Roth (just example) and starting a retirement at 60 with no extra income, would taking up to $100k in income from the IRA and Taxable taxes and supplying any other income requirements from the taxable account would keep you under the 22% tax bracket. And doing that for the next 10+ years, would drain the IRA account so RMDs would not need to be painful. That is where I would like to an example of your tax rate graph on how it impacts the total tax amount.

If you pull out more than you need in a tax advantaged way, convert it to the Roth IRA, you will have lower future RMDs and all your money will be in a Roth IRA that incurs no additional tax or have RMDs.

For Roth Conversions it doesn't matter what you sell as long as you rebuy what your sold within in the Roth IRA from a P/L perspective. From a tax perspective it would make more sense to sell the stocks that had a horrible return as they have a lower tax-basis and you could pull out more and rebuy from the Roth IRA. If you have required expenses that you need to pay from the IRA, it's ultimately up to you. There isn't anything that is a best case scenario as you don't know the future returns of the stocks you sell. General heuristics would say to sell the stocks that went up, because they *could* have a higher chance to go down, but you have no idea for certain, just as you have no idea whether the poor performing stocks will go up.
