"My mother in law has a terminal illness. She has a $35k traditional IRA. …She currently pays no income tax because of low income level. But, the $35k conversion (to a Roth IRA) will cause her to have some taxable income Her tax deductions may offset a lot of the $35k to help lower the tax liability on the conversion. Will that work or does she have to pay taxes on the entire $35k no matter what her level of tax deductions? Also, if she passes away shortly after the conversion does that keep us from spreading out the tax liability in 2011 and 2012?" – ssb
