Traditional IRA
• Investors make tax deductible contributions
• Enjoy tax-deferred growth
• Pay tax at ordinary income rates on future
withdrawals
• Mandatory distributions begin at age 70 ½
Roth IRA
• Investors pay taxes on contributions & conversions
• Enjoy tax-free growth
• Tax-free distributions at retirement
• No mandatory distributions for original owner
Who is Eligible to Convert?
Anyone with a current IRA, rollover or former qualified
employer sponsored qualified plan:
• 401(k) plan
• 403(b) plan
• 457(b) plan
• Simple IRA
• SEP IRA
* Excludes 457(f) non-qualified deferred compensation plans
2010 Conversion Opportunity
• Prior to 1/1/2010, you could not convert to a Roth
IRA if your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)
was greater than $100,000
• Effective 1/1/2010 and beyond the MAGI limit
disappears and you are able to convert as much or
as little to a Roth IRA as you like
• If you convert to a Roth in 2010, you have the
extra option of paying your tax bill over two years,
2011 and 2012
Who Might Benefit From Converting?
• Expect future tax rates to stay the same or increase
• Long time horizon expectancy
• Excess cash available in other taxable accounts
• Estate planning vehicle for your heirs
Advantages of Converting
• Ability to undo or re-characterize the conversion if
IRA account value decreases
• Partial and multiple conversions allowed
• Any prior non-deductible IRA contributions are not
taxed on the conversion
Disadvantages of Converting
• Money outside your IRA most likely will be needed
to pay the tax due
• Distributions are not immediately tax-free:
(a) Roth IRA must be established for 5 years
–and –
(b) Obtain age 59 ½
Estate Planning Benefits
• Beneficiaries can inherit the account income tax-
free
• Withdrawals over beneficiary’s life expectancy also
not subject to taxes
• Income tax paid on conversion reduces owner’s
estate
Roth Conversion Key Factors
• How old is the investor?
• What is the investor’s current income tax rate?
• How much of the IRA does the investor intend to
spend?
• How much wealth is held in taxable vs. tax deferred
accounts?
• Will the designated beneficiary take only RMDs?
Roth Conversion –vs– Non Conversion
Example
Assumptions
• Joe, age 50, has a $200k IRA and $70k investment
account
• Joe converts to Roth IRA & pays 35% tax rate
• IRA grows at 8% & investment act grows at 6%
• Tax rate is same now and at retirement
• Joe does not take any cash withdrawals
• RMD’s are taken out at beginning of year
• Joe’s beneficiary, age 10, inherits both accounts at
age 50, upon Joe’s death

future tax brackets and income levels should be part of any equation, as

long the Roth IRA will remain untouched.
