<p>My understanding is that calendar year 2010 is the first time there are no restrictions on converting an IRA to a Roth IRA. </p> <p>In short, whatever amount converted is treated as regular income for tax year 2010 so you have to pay tax on it but then it can grow tax free forever.</p> <p>Do you think the authorities could change the rules and tax it again later? </p> <p>If one believes tax rates will be higher in the future, isn't conversion now a no-brainer? </p>
