Re: thank for all for the IRA info
"""It seems that I have to pay taxes on my Simple IRA first before I can transfer, that might not be good for me, since I still have other income that add up too high. I will check with my Tax accountant. Thank you all.
Yeah from, income is definitely a consideration but so are stock values. Right now, if your income is high and stock values generally speaking al are the timing is not good. I think I converted to a Roth in Q1 of 2009 if memory serves and values of everything in my account looked nothing short of frightening. So, your consideration is two part, your current ncome level, your ability to pay the tax consequences and values at the time of consideration in your portfolio.
