If you have a 401(k) or IRA and you're 58 to 72, this Roth conversion window matters

You have a seven-year Roth conversion window most people miss entirely.

Between the year you stop working and the year the IRS forces distributions at 73, your income drops, your bracket drops, and a door opens to convert traditional retirement savings to Roth at lower tax rates. Most people walk right past it. See the potential tax savings on your actual numbers.

The three stages of retirement taxation

High. Low. High again.

Your working years put you in a high bracket. Retirement drops you into a low one. Then at 73, required distributions shove you back up, often higher than where you started. The window between stages two and three is where the work gets done.
