About this listen

In Episode 5 of Retirement Tax Matters, we define the Golden Window — the critical years of temporary low income after you retire but before RMDs and Social Security begin. For high-net-worth retirees with large pre-tax IRA balances, this is an ideal time to manage what is likely your largest future tax liability. We explore how to leverage this period by executing strategic Roth conversions, transforming a future tax problem into possible lower aggregate lifetime taxes and/or a tax-free legacy for your heirs. Most importantly, we discuss how to balance this powerful strategy with your non-financial life goals by incorporating intra-year tax projections to find the remaining "room" for conversions after you've funded your other spending needs first. | Disclosures
