Also the ENTIRE IRA doesn't have to be converted all at once in one tax year ... if you time it right you can minimize the amount of taxes you pay all together. Sit down with a tax and/or financial planner to see what suits you best. If you are over the age of 60 then making the conversion may or may not be a wise choice so taking your entire financial story into consideration is the right thing to do... think on this before making any moves.
