Roth IRA Conversion

When you choose to put money into an IRA, you make a deal with the government to pay taxes on it later, when you takeRoth IRA the money out. If you choose a traditional IRA, it is tax-deferred and the taxes are deferred until withdrawal. Senator William Roth, Jr. (R-DE) introduced the IRA Expansion Bill on March 22, 1999. This new Roth IRA created was not tax-deferred, but presented the scenario upon which one would not pay taxes on the gains. A Roth IRA Conversion allows you to turn your traditional IRA into a Roth IRA, whereas you pay taxes up front on the converted amount, but NONE later. That means once you've created the Roth IRA, you don't have to worry about taxes upon withdrawal.

Determining when (or if) you should convert to a Roth IRA is an individual decision based on factors such as your financial situation, age, tax bracket, current assets and alternate sources of retirement income. Your unique circumstances help determine what is right for you.

ROTH IRA FAQ's

Can I name a trust as the beneficiary of my IRA or Roth IRA?
Yes, you can name a trust as the beneficiary of your IRA or Roth IRA. However, do not do this unless you understand all of the ramifications of having a trust instead of an individual inheriting the IRA. Always consult with an IRA expert advisor before taking this step. Never move your IRA assets into the trust or retitle your IRA into the name of the trust. Both of those actions are taxable events and you will owe income tax on the entire balance in your IRA and you will no longer have an IRA!! The trust should simply be named as the beneficiary on the beneficiary form.
