IRA to ROTH IRA Conversion

[SammNikk]

Are all traditional IRAs converted to Roth IRAs taxable for seniors, or are any amounts exempt under the new tax bill?

[Andrew_W · Accepted solution]

The One Big Beautiful Bill did not make any direct changes to Traditional > Roth IRA conversions. However, the bill did include a personal exemption for taxpayers over 65, which starts at 6,000 per person and begins to phase out at $75,000 of income (150,000 for married filing jointly).

This exemption reduces taxable income, which can offset a conversion, or any other taxable income.
