Frequently Asked Questions
Should I convert my traditional IRA to a Roth?
A Roth conversion makes sense if you expect your tax rate to be higher in retirement, have a long time horizon, can pay the conversion tax from non-IRA funds, or want to eliminate RMDs. It generally does not make sense if you will be in a lower bracket in retirement.
Can I undo a Roth conversion?
No. Since 2018 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), Roth conversions are irrevocable. Previously you could recharacterize a conversion, but this is no longer allowed. Plan carefully before converting.
