401K ROLLOVERS
The tax advantages conferred by the tax-deferred nature of 401k and traditional IRA plans can start to become disadvantageous as you edge toward your 70s, because starting at age 72, the IRS requires you to start taking money out of these plans whether you want to or not. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are complex to calculate, and the money must be taken out by December 31st of each calendar year, or you risk a 50% penalty on top of taxes owed. Rolling money into Roth IRAs—where no RMDs will be due—can be advantageous for some.
