Are you missing opportunities to build tax-free retirement income? In Part 2 of this Roth series, we break down the latest changes and advanced strategies that could significantly impact your retirement plan. You’ll learn how the new Roth catch-up rules affect those 50 and over, what the Roth NEC means for high earners, and how the mega backdoor Roth works in practice.
We cover the most common questions about backdoor Roths, including the pro-rata rule and why having other IRA balances could trigger an unexpected tax bill. You’ll find out when you may be heading toward a future “tax bomb,” how much you can defer into your 401(k), and why just because you can use a mega Roth strategy doesn’t always mean you should.
