My husband and I file separately in Texas, a community property state. I converted a traditional IRA I had from before we were married and have not added to, to a Roth IRA this past year. Is that IRA conversion considered community income and should be on his return? Just the growth since we were married? Thank you!

If there were no contributions after you were married, it is separate property so it would be separate income. You would not have to divide it on the separate returns.
