Are New Roth IRA Conversion Rules Meant To Be A Short Term Fix For Government Funding? | 20s Money: "Government has loosened the rules making it possible for more people to convert their traditional IRAs and 401(k) funds into Roth IRAs.� This conversion essentially means you can pay taxes on the amount then convert it and not pay taxes on it again.
