Clearing Out IRAs and Retirement Accounts

 
Today TaxMama® hears from Yazminia in the TaxQuips Forum with an apt question (rephrased). “I am over age 59 ½ and want to transfer money from my IRA to my Roth IRA tax-free. Based on my income level, how much may I transfer without generating taxes?”

 

 
Dear Family, 

The reason I wanted to bring this to your attention is – I first stumbled across this issue several years ago when a tax pro’s client was being audited for his very high medical expenses. This man was paying for 24-hour in-home care for his mother, and for in-home care for himself to the tune of ,000.

This resulted in a huge loss on his tax return.

Meanwhile, Wally was sitting on over half a million dollars in a 401k plan from which he could have been drawing approximately $40,000 per year, tax-free for at least the last 4 years before I met him. We started him on that program immediately.

I would like each of you who is over age 59 ½, sitting on IRAs and/or retirement accounts, and filing tax returns with very low income, or losses, to look at your tax situation before year-end. It is quite possible that you can move $5,000 or more to a Roth IRA – or even to your own bank account without paying a dime in taxes. Or…to draw out a little more money with only a 10% tax rate. 

With tax rates rising next year, this may be one of the wisest moves you can make.

Wally died about two years later with over $300,000 still sitting in his 401k. 100% of that money was taxable to his heirs.

Let’s not have that happen to your family. OK?
