Consider your 'legacy goals' when deciding between pretax and Roth contributions. After the 2019 Secure Act, legacy planning for inherited retirement accounts became more complex. Nonspouse beneficiaries now have to deplete inherited IRAs within 10 years (the '10-year rule'), affecting those in their peak earning years. Roth IRAs can be a better estate planning option, as nonspouse beneficiaries won't owe taxes on withdrawals. The key is to choose the best option based on individual objectives.
