Had a caller on ray lucia's radio show bring up a brilliant move... the latest idea as we all know is to take social security early, pay it back at full retirement age and get a whopper of a benefit.
heres the new idea, the guy paid back 8 years of social security just before he was to start the rmds on his ira.
well from what he said the way it works when you pay back ss is you subtract that lump sum off your income the year you give the ss back.
that left him with a negative income. i guess you cant carry that over so he did a roth conversion to eat up all that negative income ..
end result is he saved a huge chunk in taxes almost getting the roth conversion done tax free.....
sounds like a new idea to look into...
