Starting in 2010, taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of more than $100,000 will be allowed to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. This change applies to all years beyond 2010, and the income taxes due on the conversion can be spread over two years. So the 2010 conversion amount may be included as taxable income in 2011 and 2012, helping to spread out the tax bite. Conversions in subsequent years are included in income during the tax year in which the conversion is completed.
”the 2010 conversion amount may be included as taxable income in 2011 and 2012“, 如果是这样的话,所得税是按100000再加上转换的钱算。 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf这里有今年的税额。我私下认为401k和传统IRA的钱最后是等退休没收入的时候,税会比较少。
