I'm contemplating selling shares of a mutual fund in a taxable account 2024, for income and to reset the price. I have been doing Roth Conversions for a few years and starting to wonder if I should have done this different.
If it matters, I expect our kids will inherit more assets than we have at present, (we over saved).
After 2024 we will start SS, This will add almost $60k of forced income,
reducing any Roth Conversions or LTCGs we may have while staying in a lower tax bracket.
We live well under the $117,000 of taxable account LTCGs that can be withdrawn at 0% tax rate. Of course we will have some Dividends and interest that must also be figured into the $117,000, to stay under the higher tax number. But I would reinvest $40k to $50k back into the market.
My question is, Should I do one more year of Roth Conversions or sell LTCGs and pay $0 on the gains?
Also, How does it work, Do you pay 0% up to the number and then 15% after that or does going over the number trigger 15% on all the withdrawal?
