    @keithmachado-pp6fv 6 дней назад

    Your 2022 example is not correct. First it assumes you know when a down market will start to rise. Even hitting the bottom does not improve the math. If it did then it would conflict with your earlier correct statement that the only thing that matters is the tax % you ultimately pay whether today or after. A lower account balance when converting does not alter that calculation

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees
      @seetheforestthroughthetrees 3 дня назад

      Converting when markets are down potentially allows more shares of "artificially low" prices in a bear market to be converted potentially resulting in more "tax-free" gains over time from outsized returns in a recovery.

  • @keithmachado-pp6fv
    @keithmachado-pp6fv 6 дней назад

    Good video. Appreciate you point out only tax rates matter. Don’t forget when you convert you pay all tax at your current marginal rate vs deferring where potentially you will pay a portion at lower rates, pending your other income.

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees
      @seetheforestthroughthetrees 3 дня назад

      Or potentially higher rates. As I point out many times, more Americans are surprised that they are in the same or higher tax bracket in retirement than working. Sure there are a large number that are in a lower bracket but its less than many people think. Make sure you run your own numbers.

    What you’re describing is an “Accredited Investor” & the SEC defines them as 1) having $1Mil net worth excluding their primary residence 2) individuals with income earnings of $200k/yr for last 2 years & expectation of those earnings next yr or 3) a couple with $300k earnings per year, etc… you could also pass the Series 65 exam & earn accredited investor status, regardless of income. A “high-net-worth” individual is someone with $5-30million+ net worth, “ultra high-net-worth” is $30M+ & neither are legal terms with SEC oversight like “accredited investor”.

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees

It's different definition than accredited investor. Here is the link: www.sec.gov/files/rules/final/2021/ia-5904-fact-sheet.pdf

      Which is why you should always discuss the option with your provider before considering the strategy. While some plans don't have a match and some plans may not allow you to contribute while paying back the loans, MOST plans don't follow that structure.

    The thing about a retiree supposedly needing 1 year of expenses in case the market goes down and they have to sell, is that as you mentioned, they might have SS, pensions, rental income, etc... So they might not be using that retirement income to cover expenses and such, or at least not 100% of them. You really need the emergency fund to handle emergencies and/or any amount you might need to pull in a down market. But that is likely to be less than 1 year of expenses. If your pension, SS, etc covers your rent/mortgage, utilities, medical, you might only need the emergency fund to cover a small amount of the expenses left. Don't get me wrong, a larger emergency fund is always better than a smaller one... ;-) But remember these decisions have consequences. Feeling they need a year if they don't have it as they get closer to retirement, someone might delay retirement until they get that 1 year buffer. Was that worth it? Or maybe they decide to not invest as much in order to fund that larger emergency fund. So they get to retirement with the proper amount in the emergency fund, but have put less in their investments as a result? I just think that these types of decisions can have a lot of variables. Maybe they should delay their retirement. That could be the case... But maybe they or their spouse has some health issues (or is just older) and a delayed retirement isn't the best idea...

    The information stated at the beginning of the Affordable Care Act section is untrue. A college student cannot open an HSA account while being a full-time college student because they are considered by the IRS to be an eligible dependent. It does not matter if the adult child is not being claimed on their parents tax return. What matters and what makes the child eligible to contribute to their own HSA is whether they are considered an eligible dependent by the IRS or not. Full time students under the age of 24 are still considered an eligible dependent according to the IRS therefore they cannot contribute to an HSA. Am I wrong CFP?

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees
      @seetheforestthroughthetrees 16 дней назад

      Dylan Roth, rarely is the tax code black and white. The first, overriding step here is to answer the question, are they claimed as a dependent on someone's tax return? Many college students are claimed as dependents (often by parents) so they cannot use this strategy. BUT, many other college students are not. You state that _"full-time students under the age of 24 are still considered an eligible dependent"_ but that is false. There are 5 items for a child to be considered a qualifying child for parents to claim them as a dependent and then NOT be able to make an HSA contribution. These tests, as described by the IRS must ALL be met to be INELIGIBLE for contribution. That means, if you fail one of the following tests you would be ELIGIBLE to contribute. If you PASS all these tests, most likely someone is claiming you on their tax return making you ineligible. 1: Relationship: The child must be the taxpayer’s biological or adopted son or daughter, foster child, or descendant of any of these people (they may also be a brother, sister, half-sibling, step-sibling, or a descendant of any of these people); 2: Age: As of December 31, the child must be younger than age 19, or younger than age 24 if they are a full-time student. They must also be younger than the taxpayer (and the taxpayer’s spouse, if married and filing jointly) who is claiming the dependent. There is no age limit if they are permanently and totally disabled; 3: Residency: Generally, the child must have lived with their parents for more than half the year (children who are away at college are considered temporarily absent and will still be considered to have lived with their parents while in school); 4: Support: The child may not have provided more than half their own support for the year; and 5: Filing Status: The child may not file a joint return unless the purpose is to claim a refund of withheld or estimated paid taxes If even one of these is not true, you can open and fund the HSA. The two that most often make someone eligible for the HSA are residency and support. If a child has a part-time job or a full-time job or maybe is a solo entrepreneur and is also in college and that job/business pays for more than half of their support they are eligible. Additionally, if the student acquires a loan (a student loan) and that loan is in their name it is considered support by the student. There are many, many college students where this is the case. If the college student pays or could pay half their support then they are good to go for the HSA. The other would be residency. For example, if your child moved away from college, and doesn't come home to live with you when not in school they are not temporarily living away from "home". They have permanently relocated. Many students do this in order to gain in-state residency. Others may have left home when they were 18 or 19, took a year or two to "find themselves", and then went to school away from home. Even if the parent still provides support via a 529 plan or something else, the fact that they live on their own could qualify them as independent and open up the strategy for the HSA. Often my videos are about opening people's eyes to strategies they are not thinking about. This strategy applies to a heck of a lot of people who are in college and who are not in college between the ages of 18 and 26. I hope this helps clarify the strategy. As always, work with your own tax and financial advisor before pursuing any planning strategy.

I’m so glad it did. I just park as much money as possible there, to collect interest, and use when needed. I’m going to be sad when rates start coming down later this year (2024) 😕

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees
      @seetheforestthroughthetrees Месяц назад

      Great question! Typically, once you leave a job, you cannot take a loan against an old 401k. This is because there isn't a salary for them to take repayments against. In most, if not all situations, 401k loans can only be taken against a 401(k) at your current employer. I hope this helps. Cheers!

    • @seetheforestthroughthetrees
      @seetheforestthroughthetrees Месяц назад

      Great question. And the answer is...it depends. In many cases the answer is no. If they were inherited from different people the answer is no. If they were inherited at different times the answer is no. However, I believe that if a single person had multiple IRAs that you are now the beneficiary of, (acquiring two inherited IRAs from the same person at the same time) that you can combine them. That is the only situation I can think of where that is potentially possible. You would want to review with your IRA custodian as well as your financial and tax advisors.
