<prompt> Human: Monthly contributions to Traditional IRA and then convert at year-end? Make lump sum payment near year-end and convert immediately? Monthly contributions and monthly conversion? Assume I dont start the year with the max amount. My preference is to fund and convert monthly - but is this allowed?  <response>: I dont believe there is any limit on the number of times you can convert per year. However, I think you are just asking for troubleerrors by doing it 12 times per year. I just keep it simple and do one big contributionconversion per year.
