Effective January 1, 2010, the limitations on who can convert a traditional IRA into a Roth are gone. Although conversions offer a significant wealth planning opportunity, they may not be appropriate for everyone: the tax cost of converting may be prohibitive, and the opportunity cost of the tax dollars may be a deterrent.

To give listeners a solid sense of the issues and opportunities surrounding unlimited conversions, the program will discuss some of the following:
- overview of Roth IRAs
- profiles of the "ideal" candidates for conversions
- special rule for 2010 conversions
- the taxable amount of the conversion and "basis" issues
- undoing a conversion

This live webcast presented by The Knowledge Group will give tax and related professionals some of the basic tools necessary to speak with clients about this new opportunity. Register now as slots are limited. Significant discounts are available to early registrants.
