By Roy Larsen, CFP®, AAMS® Q: If I use the Roth backdoor technique when I'm less than 59 years old, do I have to pay a 10% penalty on the converted amount? A: Great question! No, there is no penalty to convert as you aren't taking a distribution. To maximize the conversion, use outside assets to pay whatever tax may be due. If you take taxes from the traditional IRA, you may water down the effectiveness dramatically.
