What are the tax implications of converting a 12k traditional IRA into a Roth IRA?

The tax consequences of converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA are that the traditional pre-tax IRA balance and related earnings you are converting to a Roth IRA will be taxed to you at ordinary income rates in the year of conversion. This additional income may push you into a higher tax bracket. For example, if you are single in 2023 and had $95,375 of taxable income before the $12K conversion, you would have been in the 22% tax bracket without the conversion. However, the additional $12K of conversion-related income would be taxed at the 24% tax bracket. Here are the tax brackets for 2023.
