converting part of your non deductible contribution ira to a roth
If this is the case, then you can convert your entire Non-deductible IRA to a Roth IRA, and you'll only have to pay tax on the earnings portion. For example, Susan Smith is in a 30% tax bracket this year and she only has one IRA worth $100,000.The IRA consists of $90,000 in non-deductible contributions and $10,000 in earnings.If she decides to convert the entire IRA to Roth, she would only have to pay tax on the earnings portion ($10,000). At a 30% tax rate, she would owe $3,000 in tax to convert the entire $100,000 to Roth.If Smith had no earnings in this IRA, the entire $100,000 (all non-deductible contributions) could be converted with no tax liability.t a 30% tax rate, she would owe $3,000 in tax to convert the entire $100,000 to Roth. If Smith had no earnings in this IRA, the entire $100,000 (all non-deductible contributions) could be converted with no tax liability.
