Generic vs. Context-Aware

Your Question

Should my client consider a Roth conversion?

Context-Aware Answer

Yes, the Smith household is an excellent candidate for Roth conversion. With their current income of $185K placing them in the 22% tax bracket, and retirement target in 15 years when RMDs could push them to 32%, converting $50K-75K annually from their traditional IRA makes strategic sense.
