From the supplier: Holders of traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are faced with the question of whether or not to convert these accounts to Roth IRAs considering the many advantages offered by the latter. The Roth IRA is 'back-loaded,' meaning that it entails nondeductible contributions and tax-free and/or penalty-free contributions if conditions are satisfied. It may be particularly appealing for account holders with longer investment horizons because they will be able to avail of tax-free withdrawals at some point in the future. Taxes to be paid at the time of conversion will be based on current rates and no penalty will be imposed. The conditions favorable to a traditional to Roth IRA conversion are discussed.
