@MarkTMeredith I love working on these scenarios when we’re trying to do Roth conversions
“So we may have room to convert $100,000 this year and we might have room for $100 we’ll know in December”
@DougBisio@Mr_Derivatives@joshpeck The point is that the insurance co invests that money and keeps anything above 6.5%. They’re on the hook for risk. So the fee is just opportunity cost
@Mr_Derivatives Muni bond interest still applies to Medicare surcharge calculation so for people 65+ (prob not on X) this is often a good play from a tax standpoint too if they continue to defer
@FranWalsh73 Great thread. Can be very valuable. What I’m curious about is how the IRS tracks this in regards to when the stock is held until death, then gets inherited, and the NUA portion does not receive a full step up in basis. How do they know when the kids go to sell?
Thanks!
