I have a partial IRA conversion to ROTH IRA (in 2001) that consists of stocks. SInce then, my broker sold some of the stocks and purchased new ones. Can I recharacterize my conversion (based on the amount I converted) or do i have to recharacterize individualo stocks?
If I recharacterize this year (was last year's conversion), can I still make a new (another portion of my IRA) conversion this year, without messing up the other recharacterization? CAN I do all this with the same custodian, or am I better off shift the amount I want to convert to another custodian and then do the new conversion?
Thank you for any suggestions.
