5 Roth Conversion Mistakes Retirees Must Avoid

Freddie Bell interviews Leibel Sternbach on five Roth conversion mistakes that can cost retirees thousands. The biggest errors are assuming everyone should do Roth conversions and assuming how aggressively to convert (such as converting everything at once or targeting certain tax brackets). Sternbach explains that Roth conversions can still be useful even after RMDs begin, especially to reduce future taxes and potential tax burdens for heirs who must withdraw inherited IRA funds within 10 years. The discussion covers how IRMAA Medicare surcharges and Social Security timing affect decisions, noting that spending can sometimes achieve similar tax results as conversions. Sternbach emphasizes pacing and market timing—converting more during market downturns can reduce tax cost—and urges a personalized process based on taxes, investments, health, estate goals, and other factors, offering a free retirement and tax law analysis at yields4u.com. 00:00 Roth Conversion Pitfalls 00:21 Meet the Hosts 00:47 Mistakes One and Two 02:23 RMDs and Late Conversions 04:04 IRMAA and Social Security 06:06 Timing the Market Drops 08:06 Building a Personal Plan 09:14 Free Analysis Offer 09:49 Final Takeaways
