Jim and Chris are joined by Jake Turner to discuss listener emails in this special tax related episode covering Roth conversions after RMD age, balancing Roth versus Traditional IRA contributions, HSA versus Roth contributions, IRA reporting questions, filing deceased tax returns, and a listener PSA on tax planning software. (11:30) A listener asks whether converting to a Roth makes sense at age 75 while currently in the 12% bracket and taking RMDs, and whether recent tax law changes create a strategy opportunity. (20:20) George wonders whether his 30-something children should continue using Roth contributions exclusively or begin balancing with Traditional IRA contributions as their wages increase, and asks what percentage split between Traditional and Roth accounts looks reasonable in retirement. (48:45) The guys discuss whether covering medical expenses from an HSA and contributing to a Roth IRA, or leaving the HSA intact and paying medical bills out of pocket will result in greater retirement spending flexibility. (57:00) Jim, Chris, and Jake address whether a spouse who retired during the year is considered covered by a workplace plan, how to answer prior nondeductible IRA contribution questions, and whether Form 8606 is required after making and converting a small IRA contribution in the same year. (1:10:30) George asks how to handle the direct deposit of a refund on a deceased final 1040, including whether to use the estate bank account with an EIN or the decedent's existing account, and whether a paper check remains an option. (1:15:30) A listener PSA introduces Catalyst Tax Insights, a free tool to run “what if” scenarios and estimate taxes owed without using full tax software. The post Tax Special – Conversions, Contributions, HSAs, Tax Returns, Tax Software PSA: Q&A #2608 appeared first on The Retirement and IRA Show.
Should you take the tax deduction today… or build tax-free wealth for tomorrow? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down the Roth vs. Traditional IRA debate and explain why the “lower tax bracket in retirement” argument doesn't always hold up in the real world.They walk through the math, the mindset, and the long-term strategy behind both options — including inheritance planning, self-directing for higher returns, tax rate uncertainty, flexibility in retirement, and why most entrepreneurs don't actually earn less in retirement.

In this episode of Behind The Wealth, we unpack the headlines shaping the financial landscape: the alarming surge in data breaches that hit record levels in 2025 and what it means for your personal security and financial life; the often-ignored emotional and identity challenges of retirement that go beyond the numbers; and whether market prices really reflect what we read on the front page or if headlines simply lure investors into distraction. From cybersecurity risk to retirement readiness to market psychology — we help you separate noise from the signals that truly matter.

Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of the conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA. This information is not intended to be a substitute for specific individualized tax advice. We suggest that you discuss your specific tax issues with a qualified tax advisor.
When you're standing at a major financial crossroads, the timing of your decisions can mean the difference between success and failure. Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on the "when" of five retirement decisions, today on Your Money, Your Wealth podcast number 569. We'll kick things off with a whale of an email: "Fine and Dandy" is 42 years old with a multimillion dollar private equity offer on the table. Should he sell his business now or hold out for a second bite of the apple later? He also wonders if it's crazy to spend more on his vacation home than on his primary residence. David calls himself an "elderly orphan," flying solo at 66 and in need of a plan to protect his million-dollar portfolio as he ages. BB and Shell are trying to time their final year of retirement contributions to save as much as possible before moving to a lower-tax state. Should they go Roth IRA or traditional? Joel wonders when to take required minimum distributions from retirement accounts for the maximum tax benefit, and Brian in New York needs a spitball on when it makes sense to have an emergency fund as a retiree, and for how much.

This week on Behind The Wealth, we tackle two of the most common — and emotionally charged — questions people ask about money. First, Amy wants to know: How much does the average retiree actually have saved? Headlines often suggest you need millions to retire comfortably, but national data paints a very different picture. More importantly, averages don't tell you what you truly need. We break down why retirement planning isn't about chasing a “magic number,” but about building a strategy around your goals. Then Dale asks: How do we invest a large amount of cash without feeling like we'll regret the timing? When markets feel uncertain, holding cash can feel safe — but waiting for the “perfect” moment can quietly create its own risk. We discuss how to think about putting money to work in a way that aligns with your timeline, purpose, and comfort level, without turning investing into an all-or-nothing decision. If you've ever wondered whether you're “on track” for retirement or struggled with the fear of investing at the wrong time, this episode will help you reframe the questions and focus on what actually drives long-term financial confidence.

Consult your tax professional about eligibility to Roth and Traditional IRA contributions. Contributions and earnings in a Roth IRA can be withdrawn without paying taxes and penalties if the account owner is at least 59 ½ and has held their Roth IRA for at least five years. Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of the conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA.

In this episode of Behind The Wealth, we discuss two timely financial topics impacting households across the country. First, new research shows that unexpected expenses can take up a meaningful portion of a retiree's income, often forcing withdrawals from savings sooner than planned. Then, we explore the growing debate around housing affordability and whether limiting institutional buyers in the housing market would truly make homes more accessible for families.

A listener recently wrote in with a common and important retirement planning question: If I'm already maxing out my 401(k), can I also contribute to a traditional IRA in the same year? The short answer is yes—but whether it makes sense, and how much benefit you receive, depends on your income, tax situation, and long-term goals. In this episode, I break down how traditional IRA contributions work alongside employer-sponsored retirement plans, when those contributions are deductible, and what options are available if your income is too high for a deduction. We also explore alternative strategies, including Roth IRA contributions and backdoor Roth conversions, so you can decide how best to use your annual IRA "coupon." This episode is especially helpful if you're trying to balance tax savings today with tax flexibility in retirement and want to avoid common mistakes that can complicate your plan later. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Whether you can contribute to a 401(k) and IRA in the same tax year [01:55] The tax-deferral benefits of contributing to a traditional IRA [03:55] When a traditional IRA contribution is tax deductible [05:00] Income limits that affect IRA deductions [07:00] Using non-deductible IRA contributions correctly [10:00] Roth IRA contribution limits and income phaseouts [11:45] How a backdoor Roth IRA strategy works [13:30] Choosing the right IRA strategy for your situation Why a Traditional IRA Can Still Make Sense Even if you are already maxing out your 401(k), contributing to a traditional IRA can provide additional tax advantages. The primary benefit is tax deferral. Dividends, interest, and capital gains generated inside an IRA are not taxed in the year they occur. Instead, taxes are deferred until you withdraw the money, potentially years or even decades later. This can be especially powerful if you do not need the money right away. With required minimum distributions now starting at age 73—and increasing to age 75 for those born in 1960 or later—many investors have a long runway for tax-deferred growth. When IRA Contributions Are Tax Deductible Whether your traditional IRA contribution is deductible depends on two main factors: whether you or your spouse are covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan, and your adjusted gross income (AGI). Coverage includes plans such as a 401(k), 403(b), 457, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or pension plan. For 2026, married couples filing jointly can fully deduct a traditional IRA contribution if their AGI is below $129,000, with deductions phasing out completely by $149,000. For single filers, the full deduction applies below $81,000 and phases out by $91,000. If neither spouse is covered by a workplace plan, the contribution is fully deductible regardless of income. Options If You Can't Deduct a Traditional IRA If your income is too high to deduct a traditional IRA contribution, you still have options. One approach is making a non-deductible IRA contribution. While this does not provide a tax deduction upfront, your investments can still grow tax deferred. However, this strategy requires careful recordkeeping to properly track taxable and non-taxable portions when withdrawals begin. Another option is contributing to a Roth IRA, if your income falls within Roth contribution limits. Roth IRAs offer tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals, making them attractive for long-term planning. For those whose income exceeds Roth limits, a backdoor Roth IRA may be an option, provided there are no other pre-tax IRA balances that would trigger pro-rata taxation.

In this episode of Behind the Wealth, we unpack timeless lessons from one of investing's greatest minds — the Oracle of Omaha — and connect them with the real financial behaviors and needs of retirees today. Drawing on key takeaways from LPL's research into Warren Buffett's philosophy, we explore why patience, discipline, and a long-term mindset are foundational to building and preserving wealth. But smart investing isn't just about picking stocks — it's about knowing how retirement dollars actually get spent. We break down the top areas where retirees spend roughly 80% of their income, from housing and healthcare to food and transportation, and offer practical guidance for planning and budgeting through your go-go, slow-go, and no-go years. Finally, we tie it all together with the under-appreciated secret to long-term returns: patience. Investors who resist the noise, stay invested, and let compound gains work in their favor often find themselves on the path to building wealth. Whether you're years from retirement or already living it, this episode gives you actionable insights to think more like Buffett — and spend smarter, too.

In this episode of Behind The Wealth, we break down three timely financial stories shaping today's planning conversations. We start with new data showing seniors lost billions to scams, highlighting the most common fraud tactics and what families can do to reduce risk. Next, we discuss whether single-income households are becoming a thing of the past as rising costs and changing work patterns push more families toward dual incomes. Finally, we revisit the classic 60/40 portfolio to ask whether it still holds up in today's market environment—and what investors should consider instead.

Natalie Brunell sits down with her #1 guest, retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, to unpack an uncomfortable reality: America's national security depends on supply chains tied to China.

Topics: Is GOLD the new reserve currency instead of the U.S. Dollar?

Costly IRA Conversion Warning & the Hidden Billions Americans Are Leaving Behind In this episode, fiduciary financial advisor Wes Moss tackles a piece of financial advice that he calls "lunacy" and "insanity" – a recent Op-Ed arguing that retirees should convert their entire Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in a single year. Wes explains why this academic advice is a dangerous real-world strategy, warning listeners about the potential for a massive tax bill that could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also, Wes addresses a sinister issue in retirement savings: billions of dollars in "forgotten" 401(k) balances. Wes warns that this money is often parked in cash or a low-interest money market, missing out on decades of critical growth. Mentioned on the show: Forgotten 401(k) Accounts Are Costing Americans Billions in Lost Investment Gains Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take.

Episode 3351: Philip Taylor explains how the Roth IRA offers powerful tax advantages for retirement savers, especially those who want more flexibility, investment control, and tax-free withdrawals. Unlike traditional accounts, Roth contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you can withdraw both your contributions and earnings tax-free in retirement, making it a smart option for many earners seeking long-term growth and financial security. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ptmoney.com/what-is-a-roth-ira-and-how-does-it-work/ Quotes to ponder: "A Roth IRA is taxed just the opposite of the Traditional IRA and 401K." "Taxes can really eat into your investment earnings." "A Roth IRA is an excellent tool to help you save more money for your retirement."

Discover how current economic data affect you and decide if a Roth or Traditional IRA is the most appropriate option for your retirement savings. What's happening with layoffs and the economy right now? How should you be thinking about the data used to determine the economy's health, and what does it mean for your personal finances? Hosts Elizabeth Ayoola and Sean Pyles discuss non-traditional financial indicators and Roth IRAs versus Traditional IRAs to help you understand the current economic landscape and make smarter retirement contribution choices. First, Elizabeth shares her conversation with NerdWallet senior economist Elizabeth Renter about how we can gauge the health of the U.S. economy based on private sector data in the midst of the government shutdown. They talk about labor market nuances, layoff announcements, and how we can use consumer sentiment figures when hardly any other federal economic data are available. Then, investing Nerd June Sham joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss retirement funding options. They weigh prioritizing retirement accounts for contributions, when to choose Roth vs. Traditional contributions, and the benefits and trade-offs of Roth conversions.

Don and Tom tackle investor “magical thinking,” especially the belief that private equity, non-traded REITs, and other illiquid “exclusive” investments offer hidden superior returns. They walk through Jason Zweig's recent reporting on a Florida pension fund that locked up money, paid higher fees, and earned under 1% a year. The conversation underscores why liquidity, transparency, and diversification matter far more than complexity or exclusivity. The episode also features listener questions on retirement withdrawal sequencing for a $9M portfolio, evaluating cash balance plans, and deciding between traditional vs. Roth 401(k) contributions.

Roth conversions might help you save on taxes in retirement, but that doesn't mean you only need Roth IRAs... In this episode, I share why it's actually tax-efficient to have money in a Traditional IRA.
In this episode, we tackle some of the most common, and most confusing, retirement planning questions physicians and high-income professionals face. We dig into the pros and cons of Traditional vs Roth contributions, how TSP and deferred compensation plans really work, and what to know about 401(k) match true-ups.
