When Should You Consider A Roth Conversion?

Sep 25, 2026

When should you consider a Roth conversion? Paying more taxes today may sound counterintuitive—but focusing only on today’s tax bill could mean overlooking the bigger picture.

In this short segment, the WWM Financial team explores Roth conversions, retirement taxes, and lifetime tax planning. Your tax situation can change as you move through retirement. RMDs, Social Security, pensions, and other income can all play a role. Even your filing status could change your future tax picture.

In this segment:

• When a partial Roth conversion may make sense

• How RMDs can affect your future taxes

• Why your tax situation can change in retirement

• Why Roth conversion planning should be reviewed each year

A Roth conversion isn’t right for everyone. The key is looking beyond what you’ll pay in taxes today and considering what your tax picture could look like throughout retirement.
