Conversion - Funding a Roth IRA Beyond Normal Limits

If contributing directly to a Roth IRA for the year is restricted because of your income, you can still fund a Roth by converting any portion of your Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.

You will need to pay taxes on any money in your Traditional IRA that hasn’t already been taxed. Carefully calculate the tax implications of a Roth IRA conversion before you decide. Contact us for more information on this topic.
