You can perform a Roth conversion at any age, and potentially boost your retirement income.

Roth conversions may make the most sense if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket after retirement.

Ultimately, whether converting a 401(k) at 62 is your best move depends on your individual circumstances.

Converting an $ 850,000 401(k to a Roth account at age 62 is legally and technically feasible.

The strategy could potentially save on taxes down the road, as well as provide your heirs with a tax-free inheritance.

A financial advisor can help you determine whether or not a Roth conversion suits your situation and needs.
