IRA to Roth IRA Using Annuity in 2010???

They have a traditional ira....say $50,000 and they want to convert it to a roth.

They can do that today, so long as their income is under a certain level (approx. $100k).

Since a roth grows tax-free, and distributions are tax-free, the initial money has been taxed.

Now the traditional ira was funded with pre-tax dollars and the money is taxed as it is removed.

If they switch today, they will have to pay taxes on the $50,000.

If they wait until 2010, they will have two years to pay the tax bill.
 
Does anyone have any additional insight on how to use an annuity as the vehicle for transfer of funds from a regular IRA to a ROTH IRA in 2010, based upon the benefits congress will provide the client??

These articles may shed light on the subject...
