Episode description

Are there general guidelines on what percentages of your investment portfolio should be in tax-free accounts like your Roth, tax-deferred accounts like your 401(k), and taxable accounts like your brokerage? Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on tax diversification today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 468 for Brian in Naperville, IL. William in NH also wants to be tax-diversified. Is his Roth conversion strategy a mistake? Should he be converting much more to Roth? The fellas also do a retirement spitball analysis for Tom in Spokane, WA, and for Claire in CO, who wants to retire next year. Plus, how does Matthew in CT calculate excess Roth contributions, and how should Thomas in IA reallocate assets he over-contributed to his brokerage account? But first a couple of voice messages: Now that Sean in FL no longer has a traditional IRA, can he use the backdoor Roth strategy? We kick things off with a question from Joe in Dallas on how to account for taxes on the money you’ll be spending in retirement.
