How do Roth conversions affect my taxes?
A conversion is generally taxed in the year you convert. In exchange, qualified withdrawals from the Roth later are generally tax-free and not subject to RMDs (subject to rules like the 5-year clock and age requirements). PortfolioPilot lets you model different conversion amounts and timing (e.g., multi-year ladders) to see bracket impact and after-tax outcomes in your plan.
