403b to Roth Conversion Ladder
« on: November 01, 2020, 07:53:24 AM »
I apologize if this has been a topic in the past. I've searched and not found a direct one relating to this, but I certainly could have missed it.

Could a standard Roth conversion ladder be used with a 403b? If not, would any different steps need to be used?

Thanks for any help you all could provide!

Yes. Same rules as a 401k. Depending on your particular plan you might be required to roll over the an IRA first.

Thanks! Trying to plan out which one makes more sense for our family, and that was a big factor, of course.
