Is paying a little more for Medicare today worth avoiding a much bigger tax bill tomorrow? In this episode, Pat Schultz breaks down the often-overlooked connection between Roth conversions and Medicare premiums. While many retirees hesitate to convert because of the potential for higher Medicare costs in the short term, Pat explains why that temporary increase may be worth evaluating against the long-term impact of required minimum distributions (RMDs) and future taxes. The conversation explores common fears, the “tax valley” opportunity that can exist early in retirement and why understanding the numbers (not just the emotions), can lead to better decisions. The takeaway: sometimes the bigger risk is the tax problem you haven’t calculated yet.
