Why Convert While Abroad?
- FEIE reduces taxable income — conversion fills the "space" between your excluded income and your bracket ceiling at low rates
- Roth grows tax-free forever — no RMDs, no tax in retirement, no exposure to future rate increases
- Avoid higher rates on return — if returning to a high-tax state (CA, NY), convert before you arrive
- IRA contribution room vanishes with FEIE — but existing balances can still be converted
