Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

Here's a link to a discussion in a Turbotax thread. The answer is, yes, you can spread the payments out quarterly. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/2025-roth-conversion-all-in-january-pay-taxes-quarterly/00/3415159#:~:text=Answering%20your%20actual%20question%2C%20yes,What%20is%20your%202024%20tax%20?But...

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

I know it's August. Thank you you answering. This year I will use TurboTax and I think it will have me fill out form 2210 AI?. I converted traditional IRA to Roth on 2025 June 17 and paid to IRS direct 100% of what I thought the tax will be. I plan on doing conversions for the next 10 years. I am not...

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

I should add that simply making a large payment at the end of the year to meet one of the safe harbor thresholds is not enough to avoid the penalty.

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

More detail:1) I noted that Boldin was more aggressive, meaning it had me take a pretty large conversion in the first year up into the 24% bracket and a higher IRMAA bracket for one year. This makes some sense since it is assuming that current tax rates will reset higher in 2026. Otherwise, it spread...

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

Actually you answered one of my questions in that Pralana gave you roughly the same conversion amounts. When I convert at 12% I understand what boldin is doing. But when I convert at "highest estate value,," I don't understand why it goes to 15% effective tax rate conversion. Also I still have to work...
Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

Re: [TSPStrategy] Roth conversions

Yes, I've used Boldin and Pralana to estimate Roth conversions I plan to begin this year. What questions do you have about it? While I prefer Pralana, Boldin is considered the easier of the two to master and has sexier graphics. I just prefer the way Pralana presented the data and thought...

I retired April 30 USPS.62 yo. After putting money into tsp. I never paid attention to Roth IRA. I should have paid better attention. I could have shifted some funds at 12%.
