Tips for funding a Roth account in 2023
2023 could be a really good year to fund a Roth account. Why? Because of low current tax rates and changes to how the standard deduction, tax brackets, and retirement account contribution limits are adjusted for inflation. The high inflation of 2022 means that in 2023 the standard deduction will be higher, and federal income tax brackets will be expanded. As a result, some people could be looking at a lower federal income tax bill this year, making contributing to a Roth account more efficient.
