Other Things to Know

 

Converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?

2012 may be a good year to do so

If you have a client considering converting their traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, 2012 may be a good year to do so. Income tax rates will increase in 2013 if Congress does not act to keep them the same. In addition, starting in 2013, investment income will be subject to a new 3.8% Medicare surtax (when total income exceeds $200,000 for single filers, $250,000 for married filing jointly, or $125,000 for married filing separately).
