I have a rolled over 401K fund managed by a brokerage firm. Why do they need to know what my tax bracket is?

I won't be withdrawing this income for quite some time. At that time the money will be taxable, right? And, at that time my tax bracket will be different then it is now. Please clarify.

Most likely to try and advise you as to proper investments, but also possibly to try to sell you services. Ask them, if they will not tell you, then roll it over to someone who will tell you.

The SEC and NASD have "know your client rules", so the investment firm is supposed to ask those kinds of questions, but you can usually refuse to answer if you don't want to tell them.

Also, an important component when giving advice to clients is the clients tax bracket. For example, if you're in a low tax bracket now, have some extra cash, and expect to be in a higher tax bracket in a few years then a conversion to a Roth IRA may make sense.
