Part 4/7:
Tax-Free Growth: By moving funds into a Roth, future growth on those investments would occur without additional tax implications.
No RMDs: Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs do not require distributions during the account holder's lifetime, allowing the funds to potentially grow well beyond traditional retirement age.
Strategic Tax Management: Although converting leads to an immediate tax payment, the host noted that regardless of delayed withdrawals, taxes would eventually need to be paid on traditional accounts. Thus, proactive management may mitigate tax burdens in the long term.
