While the Roth conversion strategy may be a good idea for you, there are several variables to consider before deciding to go forward. For instance, you should factor in:

1. Expectations about future rates of return on your Roth IRA investments;
2. Expectations about future tax rates;
3. Expectations about whether—and when—you might need to withdraw money to pay for retirement; and
4. Where you will get the cash to pay the conversion tax bill

This is not necessarily a complete list of factors but you can talk to any member of our tax services team about the Roth conversion opportunity.
