M:OT Converting to a Roth before 1999 only gave people the opportunity to spread out their tax liability over four years. After January 1, 1999, people have to pay the total tax due for the year they convert. One way or another Uncle Sam gets his cut. People have the opportunity to move from one to the other [regular IRA to Roth] once a year. Example: If you change your IRA to a Roth tomorrow, you can shift it back to a Roth at a later time this year. Lynn
