to consider converting my traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?

Let's assume you have $50,000 in your traditional IRA.

Set up a profile in which you:

    a) enter zero traditional IRA assets,
    b) specify a taxable special receipt equal of $50,000 in the current year, and
    c) enter a $50,000 contribution to a Roth IRA in the current year.

Compare the living standard when you run this profile with the living standard when you run the same case, except you enter $50,000 in current traditional IRA assets and specify neither a taxable special receipt nor a Roth IRA contribution.
