Roth Conversions

Many individuals are unaware that they might be facing a tax time bomb as they approach retirement. At age 73, those with a traditional IRA are required to start making annual withdrawals, regardless of their financial needs or desires. This can lead to forced distributions and push them into a higher tax bracket potentially impacting Social Security benefits and Medicare premiums. We begin by assessing expected income for the year, which includes wages, pension income, Social Security, interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, business income, and current required distributions.

Roth conversions may not be for everyone. We use strategic tools to assess if a conversion is a beneficial option for you. Evaluating thresholds for Medicare premiums, Social Security taxation, and potential state income tax to ensure that a Roth conversion be advantageous for you.

A Roth conversion involves transferring funds from a pre-tax account like a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, which can be beneficial for generating tax-free income throughout your retirement years and establishing a wealth transfer strategy, allowing your beneficiaries to receive tax-free distributions. This single planning tool can significantly impact young your family's financial situation during retirement.

Long-Term Health Care Planning

Many people forget to include this crucial step in planning and are not aware most Health Insurance and Medicare Plans may not offer the financial assistance needed. Furthermore, if you needed extended care beyond the 100 days that Medicare or your Health Insurance may pay for, you may not have the proper planning needed in order to protect your assets.

The average cost of a Nursing Facility today is over $10,000./ per month. Medicare generally does not pay for long-term custodial nursing-home care, which is why this expense can become a major retirement planning issue, and must be addressed prior to one needing care. Medicaid will generally only offer financial assistance once you have "spent-down" your own assets to their approved minimums.
