If someone offered you a way to do a Roth conversion without paying any taxes, would your alarm bells go off? This episode takes a closer look at claims that sound too good to be true and uses a real MarketWatch scenario to unpack how Roth conversions actually work. Bryan and Shane Hopkins explain why timing, tax brackets, and life transitions matter, especially in the years between retirement and required minimum distributions. The conversation explores common misunderstandings, the difference between tax filing and tax planning, and why coordination between investment and tax strategy is critical. It’s a grounded discussion on using Roth conversions thoughtfully—without shortcuts, hype, or costly mistakes.
