Key Takeaways:
1)It’s usually not the goal to be “customer of the month” at the IRS. Like we said in ouranswer to Paul’s question today, it’s important to remember that converting our IRAs or 401(k)plans to Roth options is a taxable event. Everyone’s situation is different, and there are quite afew variables to consider when determining if it makes sense to have all those taxes pulled atonce or through regular conversions over time.
2)Life insurance is a wise investment, and it’s important to make sure you have enough.$200,000 may sound like a lot when you are looking at options, but that doesn’t stretch as far asyou’d think it would.
3)Life insurance can have benefits while we’re alive. There are life insurance options thatcan kick out tax-free income, can leave tax-free benefits to our heirs, or can support us in long-term care expenses.
