Roth IRAs have been around for sometime now. Many individuals that wanted to rollover funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA were not able to do so in previous years, due to income level restrictions. For 2010, those income levels have been suspended, allowing anyone to roll funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth. Also, you are able to split the income taxes due into two payments, one for 2010 and the other half in 2011. Also, for 2009, the first $2,400 of unemployment compensation is excluded from federal income taxation.
