Roth Frequently Asked Questions


Is a Roth Conversion Right for Me?

Is a conversion to a Roth savings account (paying taxes on a traditional retirement balance now) a one-time event, an annual habit, or a trap to avoid? The answer depends on where you are in life! In this webinar, we’ll discuss considerations for converting (or not converting) traditional retirement money into Roth savings plans. You’ll learn about URS’s new Roth plans (Roth 401(k), Roth 457(b)), and what they may mean for your Roth conversion options.
