We did a lot of conversions from IRA's to Roth IRA's last year. I about fell over when I did our taxes. And after two weeks of back and forth with our financial advisor, it didn't get any better. The result of poor communication between the two of us.

Yikes...I struggled with looking into doing the same thing. When I ran the calculations for the conversion versus payback time to get my tax hit back, I could not justify doing the conversions. Its interesting how financial guys heavily encourage the conversions, but then again they are in a totally different income scale than guys like me.

Sure hope you had prepaid at least the same amount of taxes due from last year or they'll hit you with a penalty on top of it! A lot of people are shocked to find out ever dollar of a regular IRA,401k,457 plan is taxed at full tax rate including capitol gains that are only 15% in a taxable account.

I've paid $156,000 in taxes converting to a Roth. I've made a $200,000 capital gain in roth tax free. That same 200k would have cost me an additional $48K in taxes. Under new tax law I pay 24% when it goes away in 2025 it goes up to 33%. I'd rather pay now at a lower rate and have tax free earnings going forward.

So, you are good enough to figure your taxes so closely that you give neither a tax free loan, nor incur a penalty for underpayment?

Maybe you should open up a tax consulting business.

Yep, and it didn't bother me in the lease amount,.....I look at it as a "bonus" at the end of the year, an $8K refund to throw for some new parts, toys, etc....rather than regretting having to possibly pay out at tax time.... I've played the game of trying to pay little to nothing come April 15, I like the "bonus" plan better....

Not a question about being" good enough" in calculating my taxes: I make quarterly payments, and no, I'm not self employed.

I know too well about the IRS under-withholding penalty. I got burned by in back in 1999 when I did a total Trad IRA to Roth conversion that my then "finical advisor" recommended.
Now when I need to see my finical advisor, I just look at the person at is looking back at me in the mirror.

Sometimes you are forced to. I pull income from my 401K and the Feds require a minimum withholding even though it is higher than what my tax rate is. So I get a refund every year and there is nothing I can do about it. The Feds have so many rules that sometimes you just can't work your way out of it.
