Transfers to ROTH - Remember ... Transfer direc
Post# of 82672
Transfer directly from the IRA account to the ROTH account. Do not distribute to a non-IRA type account.
Whatever you transfer will get added to this years income and you will need to pay federal and state taxes on it.
To minimize higher tax burden, transfer some now and more next year (just a few weeks away).
I found a good article to read.
