ROTH IRAs:
A WEALTH TRANSFER STRATEGY
Some high net worth individuals have assets in Traditional IRAs and 401(k) plans that they no longer need to fund
their own retirement. In many cases, they simply choose to leave them for their children to inherit. Unfortunately,
these types of plans are poor wealth transfer vehicles because the owner is typically subject to required minimum
distributions (RMDs) starting at age 72, and their beneficiaries can also become subject to ordinary income tax when
distributed. The income taxable inheritance of a Traditional IRA may be even more inefficient if the beneficiary is in a
higher income tax bracket than the presumably retired IRA owner.
By converting to a Roth IRA, the owner is able to eliminate RMDs and potentially leave their heirs a larger tax-free legacy.
ONE EXAMPLE: ELIZABETH, AGE 72
Elizabeth has a Traditional IRA worth $100,000. Elizabeth and her spouse do not need the IRA and wish to pass as
much to their child as possible. They are in the 22% tax bracket and assume Elizabeth’s IRA will grow 6% each year
over the next 15 years.
SOME OF ELIZABETH’S OPTIONS INCLUDE:
1 Leave it as a Traditional IRA and use RMDs for leisure activities
2 Leave it as a Traditional IRA, pay RMD taxes with IRA assets, and reinvest RMDs in non-dividend paying capital assets
3 Convert to a Roth IRA and withhold assets from the IRA to cover the conversion tax liability¹
4
Convert to a Roth IRA and pay the tax liability with assets outside of the IRA¹
CONVERSION TO A ROTH IRA CAN PAY OFF
Elizabeth believes that in 15 years her traditional IRA will be worth only a little more than it is today and possibly
would still be taxable to her adult child who earns a substantially higher income. By converting the traditional IRA to a
Roth IRA today, and paying tax on the assets now at her lower rate, she can potentially leave a substantially larger tax-
free inheritance to her child. By choosing the Roth conversion, she will need to pay approximately $22,000 of income
tax in the year of conversion.
This illustration does not guarantee or predict actual performance, and assumes that no additional distributions
beyond the RMD are taken from these accounts.
Securities may lose value and are not insured by the FDIC or any federal government agency. They are not a deposit of
or guaranteed by any bank, bank affiliate, or credit union.
