Converting from Rollover to Roth IRA

What tools are available to help me decide whether to convert from a rollover IRA to a Roth IRA, and if so, how much to convert each year?

Converting from Rollover to Roth IRA

Hi P-C-H,

To convert from a rollover Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA,  it is a taxable event - how much taxable income you would like to pay income tax in the year of conversion.

 

IRS has a tax withholding estimator to help figure out if you have the right amount of income tax withholding from wages, pensions, IRA distributions etc. The tool asks about various sources of income, provides tips on tax credits and deductions, and estimates how much withholding to request or estimated tax payment to make. In your case, it would be additional income tax from the conversion.

Or TurboTax Tax Calculator 2021

Or you can create a TurboTax test user ID using 2021 tax software to project 2022 tax liability - with IRA conversion or without.

 

Hope the above helps.
