Retired CPA weighs whether to convert a 401(k) to a Roth

MarketWatch examines a hypothetical situation from a 63-year-old retired CPA with a $1.2 million 401(k), asking whether a Roth conversion is worth considering.

The piece centers on the retiree’s view that their marginal tax rate is not expected to materially change in the future, which is presented as a key factor in the decision.

Because the article provides only that limited setup, it does not detail additional tax assumptions, conversion amounts, or expected outcomes beyond the marginal tax rate expectation.
