Subscribe Today: David becomes very uneasy when advisors recommend that their clients take the money in their IRA and convert all of it into an LIRP. The LIRP has a lot of benefits, but it really should be used in conjunction with other streams of tax-free income. The LIRP is powerful only to the extent that it’s used in collaboration with, in most cases, four to six other streams of tax-free income. That’s when it really shines. An LIRP conversion is something that you would use with a client when there are no other opportunities for Roth or Roth conversions available. Most annuity companies are okay with you doing a Roth conversion, as long as you do it all in one year. What do you think the tax implications of that might be? There are some companies that allow what is known as a midair conversion, where you take a distribution from the IRA and then you convert it to a Roth IRA on the other end. This isn’t very common though and most companies shy away from this. Wit
