Yes, you can, and yes, it will. Look at it this way. On the date of the> convert the dividend to Roth but that will be taxable. conversion the value of the stock in the traditional was, in theory, depressed by the amount of the pending dividend. If you had converted before the record date the stock would have reflected the higher pre-dividend value, so you would have had more income from the initial conversion. -- Phil Marti Clarksburg, MD -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |

| Dividends Paid After a Roth Conversion On 10/28 I converted my entire IRA into a Roth IRA, securities and cash. On 11/14 one of the stocks transferred into Roth paid $1000 dividend. The pay date was 11/14, the date of record for the dividend was 10/24 and the conversion date 10/28. The custodian deposited the $1000 dividend in the traditional IRA that I thought I was done with. Now the question is where does the $1000 belongs to: the traditional IRA or the Roth IRA? I know i can also convert the dividend to Roth but that will be taxable. Thanks, Alex -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |
