Roth conversion strategy for freelancers

Updated undefined

A Roth conversion moves pre-tax retirement savings into a Roth account. The money is taxed today but grows and withdraws tax-free. The decision is driven by one comparison — your current tax rate versus your expected retirement tax rate — but the real-world implications reach further than that comparison into RMDs, Medicare premiums, and estate planning.

This guide covers the mechanics, the strategies, and the situations where a conversion is and is not worth it for a self-employed person.
