Learning Objective

  • To determine what is a Roth Conversion.
  • To analyze how Roth can Conversions lower taxes.
  • To determine how Social Security benefit taxation affects the Roth Conversion Decision.
  • To discuss how taking Medicare and the IRRMA high-income Medicare Part B Premium affect the Roth Conversion Decision.

Course Overview

This CE webinar will look at the dollar gain or loss from Roth Conversions. It will explain the arguments for and against conversions, and explain the four tax issues -- federal income taxation, state income taxation, Social Security benefit taxation, and Medicare Part B IRRMA taxation -- that influence the gains/losses from Roth conversions. The illustrations in this CE course will consider households in different financial circumstances and the importance of incorporating all relevant factors, such as when the client will take Social Security.

Taxes, whether we admit it or not, drive a lot of our personal finance decisions. Avoiding or lowering them can influence where we choose to live, what kind of car we buy, where we send our children to school, whether we purchase a house, and many other everyday decisions. Everyone tries to limit the amount of taxes they pay. Taxes play a large role when we invest for retirement, as well.

One possible way to minimize taxes is by investing in a Roth IRA. With a Roth IRA, you contribute after-tax dollars and withdraw any earnings tax-free in retirement. By contrast, although you generally get a tax deduction on your contributions to a traditional IRA, the money grows tax-free—you have to pay taxes when you withdraw the money in retirement.

This CPE course will look at the dollar gain or loss from Roth Conversions. It will explain the arguments for and against conversions.

Major topics covered in this online CE/CPE Tax webinar:

  • Contributing to Roth VS NonRoth IRAs/401Ks
  • Gains from Roth Conversions
  • Impact of Taxes for security & IRRMA on Roth Conversions


All these points will be discussed in detail as their influence on the gains/losses from Roth conversions. The illustrations will also be discussed in this CE course. We will consider households in different financial circumstances and the importance of incorporating all relevant factors, such as when the client will take Social Security.
