Submitted by Collins & Guilford Wealth Advisors, LLC on November 22nd, 2023
As the year draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to discuss an important financial opportunity that may be of interest to you: Roth IRA conversions. With the year-end approaching, now is an ideal time to consider this strategy to enhance your financial future.
Why Consider Roth IRA Conversions?
Roth IRA conversions can be a powerful tool in your retirement planning arsenal. By converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you can potentially enjoy tax-free withdrawals in retirement. This can provide significant flexibility in managing your tax liability during your retirement years.
Year-End Benefits
Conducting a Roth IRA conversion before the end of the year offers several advantages:
Tax Planning: By converting before December 31st, you have the opportunity to manage your taxable income for the current year. This can be particularly advantageous if you anticipate being in a lower tax bracket this year.
Maximize Growth Potential: The sooner you convert, the longer your investments have to potentially grow tax-free within the Roth IRA. This can have a substantial impact on your overall retirement savings.
Diversify Tax Treatment: Having a combination of tax-deferred and tax-free retirement accounts allows for strategic withdrawals, optimizing your tax situation in retirement.

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.
