Does it make sense for Alex and his wife in Massachusetts to do Roth conversions now to the top of their eventual tax bracket? Steve in San Diego got serious about saving for retirement after Joe and Big Al gave him some tough love 5 years ago. Is he good to retire now, and should he convert to Roth? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 510 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, can Barbara in New Jersey’s grandson move excess 529 funds to a Roth and withdraw the money after 5 years? PWare has a cunning plan to gift appreciated stock to avoid capital gains tax, but will it work? Should Mike create a limited liability company for his rental properties? And finally, qualified charitable distributions don’t make sense to GetSmart Paul. Sherri in California wonders if her kids can inherit her savings account without any tax penalty, and whether there’s a safe, high-yielding investment she should put it in. And Houry in New York wonders if her IRA can fund a charitable remainder unitrust, or CRUT.
