To Roth or Not To Roth

Description

With the introduction of the Roth 401(k) in recent years in addition to Roth IRAs, and the removal of Roth conversion income limits in 2010, planners are increasingly eager to utilize Roth retirement accounts, but do not necessarily understand all of the factors that actually determine whether a Roth decision will increase or decrease a client’s wealth in the long run.

In this session, planners will learn about the fundamental factors that really do, and don’t, contribute to long-term wealth creation by choosing to contribute to (or convert to) a Roth retirement account instead of a pre-tax account.

Learning Objectives
  • Compare and contrast the basics of a Traditional versus Roth IRA
  • Explain the tax equivalency principal and calculate the amount of after-tax contributions needed to equal the same amount of pre-tax contributions given various tax rates and pre-tax contribution amounts
  • Discuss how current and anticipated future tax rates impact the decision of which type of account (pre-tax / after-tax) to contribute to
  • Identify the factors to consider when evaluating future tax rates
  • Explain why making the maximum contribution amount to a Roth IRA generates more wealth than making the maximum contribution amount to a Traditional IRA.pants
