Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on paying the tax on your Roth conversions on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 507. If you take the money out of your retirement account, what does Joe mean that you’ll be “paying the tax to pay the tax to pay the tax”?

They also spitball on withdrawing Roth 401(k) contributions that were rolled to an IRA, those infamous 5-year rules for withdrawals from Roth accounts, when to do Roth conversions, saving to tax-deferred, taxable, or tax-free accounts, and how long-term capital gains taxes fit into the picture. Plus, consolidating individual stock investments and the fate of the home office deduction, and what Joe thinks about the Apple Podcasts reviewer that says he’s checked out.

Is it a good strategy for Tim in Minnesota to use reimbursements from his health savings account to pay Roth conversion taxes? And what do Joe and Big Al think of Samantha in Northern California’s plan to convert to Roth and pay the tax with her IRA money? Plus, the fellas answer questions from our YouTube and Spotify followers on required minimum distributions from Roth accounts, reasons to put retirement withdrawals in a brokerage account instead of a Roth, choosing pension options, and the difference between commercial annuities and pension annuities. Plus, their thoughts on single premium immediate annuities (SPIA). Access all the following free financial resources and the episode transcript: https://bit.ly/ymyw-495
