Roth Conversion
Gold IRA Glossary
Moving money from a traditional IRA or pre-tax workplace plan into a Roth IRA. The converted amount is taxed as ordinary income in the year of the conversion, and in exchange, qualified withdrawals from the Roth are tax-free later. A Gold IRA can be set up as a Roth account, so some savers convert before or after buying metals depending on their tax situation.
