Ready to convert? To a Roth IRA, that is

Description

Abstract: Even if converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA isn’t an option for you today, it will be next year. That’s because starting in 2010 the income and marital status restrictions that might otherwise restrict your ability to make that conversion will no longer apply. But it’s not for everyone. This article discusses the pros and cons, while a sidebar looks at the advantage of contributing to a charity directly from your IRA.
