Tom, et al, FYI, it is feasable to convert an IRA to a Roth IRA, incrementally. Any distribution CAN be treated as a Roth conversion. So, lets say that you can afford to pay the taxes on $5k of incremental income this year. You instruct your custodian to execute a withdrawal and deposit the funds in a Roth IRA account (zero withholding on the distribution). You pay the taxes when you file your return (or make an estimated payment to cover the tax owed). This allows a multi-year conversion process, vs the 'one-shot' that the IRS docs, and finance writers tell you. This is a MUCH more patatable approach for me. Robert
