An advisor asked me why his client could not do a Roth conversion of an Inherited IRA. I was tempted to reply as a parent might reply, “Because.” I resisted the temptation. What’s a better explanation? It also calls to mind the planning strategy to do an IRA to Roth conversion before death, when anticipated, when time. Does that make sense generally? Thanks.
