Question:Hello,I'm in my sixties, in the golden years for Roth conversions, which I've been doing. I've had a small Roth IRA account for more than 5 years. Last year I converted $90,000. This year will be about the same.
If you have both pre-tax and Roth accounts in a 401(k) (or a 403(b) or governmental 457(b)) and are subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), be aware of new rule changes made in the 2022 SECURE 2.0 law. The rules were clarified in the IRS RMD final regulations, which came out on July 18.
Of all the many provisions in the SECURE 2.0 Act, none has been more perplexing than Section 327, which changed the rules for spouse beneficiaries. It has been hard to figure out what Congress intended in drafting section 327. The legislative history is scant.
Question:Thank you for all of the wonderful information. I have a question as to how the July 18, 2024 final regulations impact inherited Roth IRAs. My daughters inherited Roths from their grandmother 3 years ago. She was age 101.
Trapped. For two nights in July, I slept on the floor at Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport - a victim of the mass Delta computer outage. Booking a hotel after midnight (when the final cancellation hit) was not worth the commute or early morning TSA re-entry trouble.
One of the positive outcomes of the new IRS final SECURE Act regulations on required minimum distributions (RMDs), released on July 18, is that more beneficiaries will be able to stretch RMDs over their lifetime.
QUESTION:I inherited both a traditional and a Roth IRA from my significant other (non-spouse) who passed away in 2021. He had started taking required minimum distributions (RMDs). I am less than 10 years younger than he was. Question is: do I or do I not have to empty both accounts within 10 years of his death? No one is giving me an answer one way or another.

In Part 1 (July 17), I discussed 5-year clock issues when a non-spouse beneficiary inherits a Roth IRA. In Part 2, I will hit on the important concepts and options available when a spouse inherits a Roth IRA.
Question:Can a Roth IRA be rolled into a Roth 401k?Answer:While a Roth 401(k) can be rolled into a Roth IRA, the reverse is not true. You cannot roll a Roth IRA into a Roth 401(k). The only place where funds from a Roth IRA can be rolled over to is another Roth IRA.
