Importance of Tax Strategy
- Tax strategy is often overlooked yet crucial for minimizing lifetime tax burden instead of just focusing on this year's taxes.
- Thinking long-term about taxes can save far more money than just optimizing for one year.
Use Roth Conversions Wisely
- Consider Roth conversions if you expect high Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) later.
- Paying taxes now at a lower rate on converted Roth funds avoids higher rates later and offers tax-free growth.
Optimize Asset Location
- Allocate growth investments like equities to Roth IRAs for maximum tax-free growth.
- Keep more conservative or safer assets in brokerage accounts to reduce risk and volatility when accessing funds.
