A designated Roth account is a separate  account in a 401(k), or governmental 403(b) plan to which designated Roth contributions are made. Designated Roth contributions aren't excluded from gross income and are taxed. 

A Roth conversion happens when you move assets from a traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA, 401(k), or 457(b) and put them in a Roth IRA. When you convert, you'll include the converted amount as ordinary income.
