Not really. The investments in a tax deferred account grow faster using the tax savings as part of the growth strategy. This offsets a lot of the future taxes.

In my case, my income is less now that I’m retired. Running a tax calculator showed no significant tax advantage for me to rollover money into a Roth this late in the game. Your mileage may vary.

Edit: I’ve heard of some people using insurance policies to get tax breaks. They borrow against the policy tax free.
