"So, effectively, you're only subject to the additional 3.8% tax if your adjusted gross income exceeds the dollar thresholds listed above." Correct. And, the tax is only on the lesser of the excess over the AGI or your investment income. Remember, the income limits for being eligible to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth may expire in 2013. If so, do your conversion now and avoid the bump in your income from that distribution (being subject to the new tax.)
