BEST DEDUCTION? ROLLOVER IRA OR ROTH?

[VolvoGirl]

In the first place a ROTH is not deductible.  And if you do a rollover it is not a deduction and make be taxable if you roll over or convert a Traditional IRA to a ROTH IRA.

Then any deductible IRA contributions will reduce your income and save you on regular income tax BUT will not reduce the self employment tax on the schedule C Net Profit.  Sorry.
