Ep. 104: 8 Roth Conversion Tax Traps

PFR Nation,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

You guessed it…it’s ROTH CONVERSION time! 😊

In all seriousness, Happy Thanksgiving all of you! Wishing you a wonderful start to the holiday season.

Roth Conversions are a hot topic in our business at the end of the year, so I thought I’d do a video about some common tax traps every day retirees run in to as they are converting assets to Roth. I hope you find it useful!

Let me know if there are any other tax traps you can think of.

Also, drop a comment…do you plan to convert your IRA to Roth during your Roth Conversion window?! I would love to hear from you.
