Yeah, I think the BW article could have probably stood just fine without the example. It breezed through it and probably left a lot of people confused. That's why I didn't discuss it in my post. As I mentioned, I think the key is for people to get to the nuts and bolts of their situation with their tax advisor. Just curious, do you have any further information you can share to help others on the subject? Joe, thanks for commenting.

He advocates converting now and paying a marginal rate of 33%, ignoring the fact that there's a zero bracket (the sum of STD deduction plus exemption) of $9350 next year. Then a 10% rate on the next $8375. He doesn't spell out the rest of his math, I'd be curious what any pro-Roth advocate's numbers look like. I can create example where it makes sense to convert, but his is not such an example. .-= JoeTaxpayer´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Joetaxpayer/~3/ixTfWBupV1w/" rel="nofollow">The Housing Boom and Bust</a> =-.
