Many employees contribute to a 401K plan in an effort to save for retirement. However, converting those 401K savings into a Roth IRA can add up to major savings in the long run. Roth IRA's allow you to take your money out tax-free after you reach a certain age so if you believe that your income tax bracket will be higher after retirement, converting now may be the best way for you to save for your retirement years.
