Changing Roth back to traditional IRA

[Guest Venkatagiri]

I converted a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in 1999. While I am eligible to do so, incomewise, the tax liability is too much for me. Can I recharacterize it and, if so, how? Thanks for the help.

You can request a full or partial recharacherization by delivering a letter of instructions to your custodian. Call them first to get the details.

This is the peak period for IRA depts. so act quickly.
