<prompt> Human: A few years ago out of ignorance I opened a Traditional IRA and funded it every year with my post tax income OUTSIDE of my work 401kIRA offerings. I converted it this week to a ROTH and wondering what are my possible tax implications and if I need to provide anything incremental to my accountant? Thanks!Edit: I have NOT made any contributions for 2013Assistant: OK thanks for the info. I somehow thought that IRAs were pre-tax income contribution like a health savings account. I used online tax forms for years past and it was deducted from my taxable income. Ill mention this change to my newcurrent accountant used for 2012 on but it seems all is well and no drastic action is needed. Thanks again!  <response>: Your traditional IRA had pre-tax contributions because you took the tax deduction. If you deducted previous contributions from taxable income then you will need to pay taxes on the amount converted to a Roth this year.
