can a roth account tax deduction
Ways to pay the tax. The federal tax on a Roth IRA conversion will be collected by the IRS with the rest of your income taxes due on the return you file in the year of the conversion. The ordinary income generated by a Roth IRA conversion generally can be offset by losses and deductions reported on the same tax return. It's usually considered a good idea to avoid using the funds that are being converted from within your Roth to pay the tax on a conversion.
