| 8:00 | Welcome | Sidney Kess | |
| 8:15-10:00 | Roth Conversions in 2010 In the past, taxpayers who have had adjusted gross income (AGI) above $100,000 were precluded from converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. However, beginning with the 2010 tax year, this limitation will be lifted, thereby allowing many more taxpayers the opportunity to convert to a Roth IRA. This, in turn, will open up a flood gate of activity for those professional advisors who become familiar with the basics of Roth IRAs and the mathematical factors which make them both a viable income and estate tax planning tool.
