The market has generally been up since 2013, but if the value of your IRA has declined since your 2013 conversion date, or if your cash situation has changed significantly since you decided to convert, you can “recharacterize” the conversion transaction and avoid the tax. Generally speaking, you can unwind the conversion with a trustee-to-trustee transfer from the Roth back to a traditional IRA no later than 10/15/14. Â If you have already filed your 2013 return, you will need to amend.
Please call us if you have questions.
