Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of conversion, IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a required minimum distribution(RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA.
