New Roth Conversion Analyzer From Newkirk Addresses Tax Changes

ALBANY, N.Y., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Newkirk, a leading provider of marketing communications for financial and healthcare companies, today announced that its new Roth Conversion Analyzer has been completed to accommodate new tax law provisions allowing for more in-plan Roth conversion options.  The Roth Conversion Analyzer is a companion to the existing Roth Savings Analyzer.

The Roth Conversion Analyzer enables providers and advisors to help these participants understand the new options and determine a strategy that makes sense for them."

• Capture participant and spouse demographic and tax information.
• Capture current balance and savings information.
• Provide an estimated balance at retirement for three conversion scenarios
  • No Roth conversion
