In this episode of Root Ready, James shares how advisors should think about Roth conversions—starting with the basics and not just relying on software.
Software can help with numbers, but it can’t see the full picture. James explains why Root advisors use software as a tool, not the final answer.
He talks through key things to consider before doing a Roth conversion, like future tax brackets, RMDs, charitable giving, and income thresholds. You’ll also hear why Roth conversions are more like “tax insurance” than a perfect plan.
If you want to better understand when—and when not—to recommend Roth conversions, this episode is for you.
