This Gimme Some Truth episode explores the nuances of Roth conversion strategies for Americans abroad. For most Americans, the decision to roll over a Roth IRA is governed by the calculus of US Tax Rates and their age.

Therefore, Americans living abroad (or thinking about it) should proceed carefully and fully analyze how their prospective destination(s) will treat Roth IRAs and their withdrawals.

In this installment of Gimme Some Truth, Keith, Stan and Syl discuss how residing abroad can effect one of the most common decisions US investors make - rolling over their employer-sponsored retirement plan (401k, 403b, TSPP) to an IRA. While this decision is frequently presented as a "no brainer" for Americans in the US, the various tax treaties the US has with foreign countries frequently render this decision more complicated for Americans residing or thinking about residing abroad as certain countries will tax different types of plans differently.
