If you're nearing or in retirement and concerned about paying too much in taxes, you may want to convert a portion or all of your taxable retirement plan assets to a tax-free Roth IRA*. Here's how it works.
If you're nearing retirement but still working, the extra income can also cause you to become ineligible for current contributions to an existing Roth IRA. In 2025, contribution amounts begin to be limited when modified adjusted income hits $236,000 and phase out completely at $246,000 for taxpayers who are married and filing jointly. Limits for single and head of household filers phase out between $146,000 and $165,000.** But you do have alternative ways to save if that's the case.
Unlike traditional retirement accounts, the Roth IRA is not subject to what's known as required minimum distributions (RMDs), so, you needn't take a Roth distribution in your lifetime. Your financial professional can tell you more.
* Converting from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is a taxable event. A Roth IRA offers tax free withdrawals on taxed contributions. To qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, a Roth IRA must be in place for at least five tax years, and the distribution must take place after age 59ó or due to death, disability, or a first-time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime maximum). Roth IRA distributions may be subject to state taxes.
