Interesting that you point that out because I did a Traditional IRA to Roth IRA conversion in 2012 of $47,616. Luckily I found my record of that because I knew that I did a conversion back then but I would have never remembered a number like that. I've only done one conversion. So I guess...

Thank you so much for the quick explanations! I simulated the Roth distribution using HR Block Tax Software for Tax Year 2023 and I used code J for the simulated 1099-R entry. After the program asked me a few more questions, it asked for my basis in Roth contributions that it entered on line...

In 2024, I expect to withdraw $6,000 from my Roth IRA to pay expenses. I will be age 53 and my Roth IRA was opened (and still is) with Vanguard in 2004. I contributed the maximum amounts allowed each year during the years from 2004 to 2012. My question is about doing taxes for this expected...

Privacy is true price of healthy worker discounts - Breaking Bioethics - MSNBC.com I realize it can turn into an emotional debate between the (now) "healthy" and the "unhealthy" people, but does anyone have opinions on this article about recent health care plans and their carrot/stick approach...

I've read the mental accounting paper and I have also been intrigued about the perceived value of monetary amounts. The other day I was wondering if the perceived value could sometimes be correlated with one's net worth. For example, what about an amount of .01% of net worth? Sounds very...

Re: Accumulators (and others) using Target Retirement or other "life-cycle" fund I'm in a similar situation. I'm a 35 yr old software engineer, my wife is 34, no kids yet. We have about $140k taxable, $160k home equity, and $350k in retirement funds (that includes a lump sum pension currently...

The button shows up for me at the lower right corner of the firefox window.

There is a Firefox add-in called "IE tab" that allows you to switch to render the page as Internet Explorer would render it, all from within Firefox. I've had pretty good luck with it when a page doesn't like Firefox. I just hit a button in Firefox to switch the page to IE.
