It's the oppourtunity some people have been waiting for. Starting in 2010, anyone can convert a traditonal IRA into a Roth IRA, regardless of income or filing status. Simplified Pension (SEP) IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs also can be converted. Before 2010, only individuals with modified adjusted gross income (AGI) of $100,000 or less could convert to a Roth IRA. Also, married taxpayers filing separately were prevented from converting traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. As a result of these changes, Roth IRAs will be available to more taxpayers.
