Correct. Income tax will have to be paid currently on the taxable portion of the rollover to the Roth.

Micro > Take all your money out of the traditional IRA as soon as you can and invest it into a brand new ROTH IRA where you have no RMD's or perhaps into some type of other steady growth vehicle that makes continual income for you...


I believe, Boss,
That if one takes it all out and puts it into a Roth one has
to pay the income tax on ALL of it that year - if it is a
substantial nest egg that could mean losing a LOT of the money
to the tax man.

My suggestion would be to remove it slowly, over time, and re-invest
any 'not needed right now' funds into something tax paid that will
likely grow and increase in both value and dividends paid.

Zim.
