I just retired a month ago and am thinking of converting the IRA to Roth for next year. I will basically have $ 8,500 in revenue for next year through distribution and capital gains etc. What is the taxable level of income that I should strive to stay in the low tax bracket and still qualify for a decently acceptable health care plan? My minimum research has me somewhere in the range of $ 45,000 to $ 57,000 for adjusted gross income. Does that sound right or can I go for more?
That question was answered by Jeffrey Levine, chief planning officer of Buckingham Wealth Partners, in this episode of Ask the Hammer.
