Episode 49: Roth IRA Conversions: The Wisconsin Tax Law That Changes Everything - 11/29/2025

John Berkley discusses a strong market week before focusing on the major complexity added by a new Wisconsin state tax law. The law exempts up to $24,000 in retirement distributions per person (age 67 or older) from state tax. This significantly alters the decision to convert to a Roth IRA, as paying conversion taxes now means forfeiting the future state tax exemption on distributions. The discussion also covered year-end tax loss selling and complex estate planning issues, highlighting how the growing intricacy of tax and investment laws necessitates the help of a financial advisor.
