Tax Diversification for Retirement Accounts

Posted by Sean | Posted under Retirement, Taxes | May 13, 2008

The other day, I read an article that used the term "Tax Diversification" for Traditional 401k vs. Roth. It appears the phrase is not exactly unique, yet considering how many articles there are for Traditional vs. Roth, it does not seem as common as perhaps it should be.

perfect example:

#3 on Google: Traditional vs. Roth Calculator (statefarm.com)

"And although you can generally choose both types of IRAs, you want to select the one that is most advantageous."

The key phrase here is the one, as if it must be an either/or situation, as if we can predict the future ~30 years in advance.

Why? Is diversification any less relevant in this situation? Or is this concept still in the process of gathering momentum?

your thoughts…
