Today I’m happy to announce another guest post at the TurboTax blog.

This time, another look at the Roth IRA in a post titled Taxes 101: IRA Conversions. In this post, I discuss the difference between the Traditional IRA, the Roth IRA, and the process for converting to the Roth.

(FTC disclaimer – I am not compensated for the guest post at TurboTax, although I think I might get a t-shirt out of the deal.)
