Should You Convert to a Roth Before Retirement?

Roth conversions can be a powerful tax strategy, but are they the right move when you’re just about to retire? In this video, Matt walks through a real-life case study to test that very question. Using Jerry and Ruth Crawford’s $7.3 million portfolio, he explores different strategies, from converting everything at once to filling tax brackets little by little.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
