Converted in 1998, but want to pay balance of tax in 1999

[Guest otoole]

I converted to a roth IRA last year and elected to sprerad the tax over four years. I however, would now like to pay the outstanding balance this year. I can;t find anything that says I can or can't.

You can't. Your options were to pay it one year or over four years. No other options.
