Pittsburgh, PA (ContentDesk) May 18, 2006 -- James Lange, CPA/Attorney, says
taxpayers with an AGI greater than $100,000 need to know about the New Open Season for Roth IRA conversions that is provided for in the new tax law.Respected Roth IRA expert Lange says:The new tax law is HUGE for taxpayers making more than $100,000 who have an IRA. The long term benefit to your family of making a Roth IRA conversion can be estimated by multiplying the current value of your IRA by 15.Wednesday, May 17, 2006, President Bush signed a major tax bill that
presents wealthy Americans with an outstanding lifetime opportunity. The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act (TIPRA) will lift the $100,000 AGI ceiling on Roth IRA conversions for tax years after 2009. In 2010, wealthy Americans will, for the first time, qualify for
Roth IRA conversions.Lets look at a scenario:
a taxpayer makes more than $100,000 and he has a $500,000 IRA. If he converts his IRA to a Roth IRA, in 20 years he will be better off by $250,000 and in 60 years his children will be better off by $7,500,000.James Lange, CPA/Attorney.
Americans will make bad decisions based on advice from well-intentioned but sadly mistaken financial professionals who havent run the numbers on Roth IRA conversions. Taxpayers need the best advice from a true expert who understands the intricacies of the Roth IRA conversion from a quantitative, tax and legal perspective. Lange says that Americans need to hear the right story.Lange has been quoted 20 times in The Wall Street Journal.

Roth IRA secrets - 7 reasons why a Roth IRA trumps a Traditional IRA
TAX-FREE COMPOUNDINGContributions inside a Roth IRA can grow and compound each year in your investment portfolio on a tax-free basis. This cannot be said for investments within a 401k plan or traditional IRA, which only experience tax-deferred growth compounding. At some point in time the investments held within 401k and IRA plans will have to pay the tax man.TAX-FREE EARNINGSAccumulated wealth inside a Roth IRA is 100% tax-free and will not be taxed at the time of withdrawal. The power of this benefit is truly realized when there are significant capital gains within the portfolio, or in investments with longer time horizons (which allows greater time for compounding growth and magnification of your portfolio size).TRUE CAPITAL GAINSThe Roth IRA is the only investment plan that truly lets you capture 100% of capital gains on a tax-free basis. If these same capital gains where made inside a 401k or traditional IRA plan, at the time of withdrawal they are CONVERTED to ordinary income at...

Deadline Near For Taxpayers with an Extension to File
(ContentDesk) August 12, 2004 -- For the almost 8.5 million taxpayers who opted in April to get an automatic extension of time to file their 2003 federal income tax return, the deadline to file those tax returns is August 16, 2004.Those who cannot meet the August 16th deadline can apply for an additional two-month extension, which would give them until October 15th.
However, there's no guarantee that the IRS will grant them an additional extension. If an application for an additional extension is not approved, an individual must file his or her tax return by August 16, or face paying a late filing penalty of 5 percent per month on the unpaid tax.Individuals who own a business have until their tax filing deadline to save on 2003 taxes by contributing to a SEP-IRA retirement plan, says Daniel Lamaute, retirement specialist at Lamaute Capital InvestSafe.com.
The SEP IRA contribution limit for 2003 is $40,000 or 25% of compensation, whichever is less.
