Roth Conversion Strategy — Window 2026–2036

With $4.6M in combined pre-tax IRAs and RMDs starting in 2037, this is the highest-leverage window to convert. MAGI of ~$270K places the household in IRMAA Tier 2 already — conversions are sized to manage bracket and IRMAA exposure together.

Conservative: Stay in IRMAA Tier 2

Convert ~$50K/year, staying under $322K MAGI.

Total converted: ~$550K before RMDs.

No additional IRMAA surcharge. Steady tax cost.

Aggressive: Fill 24% Bracket

Convert ~$110K/year to the top of the 24% bracket.

Total converted: ~$1.2M before RMDs.

Higher IRMAA (Tier 3), but dramatically reduces future RMDs.

Common questions

Because the decisions around retirement — when to convert, how to draw income, what to defer — need to be mapped out before anything is managed. The plan is the foundation. Without it, portfolio moves are guesswork.

Retirement income sequencing, Roth conversion timing, tax bracket management, withdrawal strategy, and stress testing against downturns and law changes. You get a written roadmap with clear action steps.

You decide. Some clients take the plan and execute on their own. Most choose to have us implement it — managing the portfolio, handling the tax moves, and keeping everything coordinated as life changes.

Most of the clients we work with have $2M–$20M in portfolio assets or exceed $300K in household income. We’ll be upfront about fit on the intro call.

Yes — and we prefer it. We work directly with your CPA on Roth timing, tax projections, and withdrawal sequencing, and with your estate attorney on beneficiary designations and trust structures.
