Do you actually know who gets your retirement accounts when you die?

Not who your will says. The IRS doesn't care about your will or estate plan. Your 401(k) and IRA go to whoever is named on the beneficiary form, period. Even an ex-spouse.

Before you roll over your Roth 401(k), two things are worth checking first.

One: have you ever had a Roth IRA? If you have, find out what year that five-year clock started. If you haven't, it may be worth talking with your advisor or tax professional about whether establishing one now makes sense rather than waiting until retirement.

Two: Roth conversions have a separate five-year rule of their own that's different from the rollover rule. Don't mix the two up.

Both of these are a lot easier to sort out before the rollover than after.

Most people assume rolling a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA is a clean transfer. The years don't come with you, and that can matter more than most people realize.

Each Roth 401(k) has its own five-year clock. When you roll it into a Roth IRA, those years don't transfer. The Roth IRA's clock is the only one that counts, unless you already had a Roth IRA open before the rollover.

If you didn't, the earnings that land in that Roth IRA may not be tax-free for years. This is one of those things that's a lot easier to plan around before the rollover than after.

Did you know fall is a great time to check in on your financial plan?

As the seasons shift, it's a natural moment to revisit your goals for the rest of the year, whether that's your budget, your retirement contributions, or just making sure you're still on track.

A few minutes today can save a lot of scrambling later.

Rolling a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA doesn't automatically bring your five-year clock with you. The years you spent building that account stay behind.

The years you spent building your Roth 401(k) don't come with you. You could have that account for years, roll it over, and suddenly find yourself with a brand new five-year clock. The good news is there's a simple way to potentially avoid that problem if you plan ahead.

This is one of those things that's worth understanding before you make any moves, not after.

Rolling a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA seems straightforward. Same after-tax dollars. Same tax-free growth. Same account type.
But here’s what most people don’t realize until after the rollover is already done.

The years you spent building that Roth 401(k) don’t come with you. Roll it over without an existing Roth IRA and you could find yourself with a brand new five-year clock on the earnings, even if you’ve had that account for years.

In this video, Andrew walks through exactly how the five-year rule works for Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, why the two accounts pay out money very differently, and the one thing to check before you make any moves.

Most people who try to fix a Roth IRA excess contribution don't realize there's a second mistake waiting for them.

If you have money sitting in traditional IRAs, the pro rata rule means the IRS looks at all of your IRA dollars combined — not just the portion you moved. That can create an unexpected tax bill on the fix itself.

If you have pre-existing traditional IRA balances, get this modeled before you do anything.

If you made a QCD this year there are three things worth checking before you file.

First - timing matters if you're using QCDs toward your RMD. Once you've already taken your full RMD personally a QCD later in the year can't replace those earlier withdrawals.

Second - the money needs to go directly from the IRA to an eligible charity. Writing a personal check to the charity after taking the distribution yourself is not the same thing.

Third - keep a written acknowledgement from every charity. And before you sign your return look at lines 4B and 4C yourself to make sure the QCD is actually reflected.

Retirement isn't just a financial milestone; it's an emotional one too.

After years of building your career, stepping away means more than replacing a paycheck. It means rethinking your routine, your purpose, and your sense of identity.

In one of our latest blogs, we walk through how to plan for both the money side and the mindset side of retirement, so your next chapter feels as good as it looks on paper.

Most people assume the form their custodian sends in January handles the QCD reporting for them. It might not.

Your 1099-R can still show the full distribution amount as taxable even if part of it was a qualified charitable distribution. The IRS has a code that can flag a QCD happened but custodians aren't required to use it for 2025 and 2026. So don't assume that form is telling the whole story.

Taking the money out and fixing the tax reporting are two completely separate things. And the fix has to happen on your return.
