There are plenty of financial experts say that an individual who owns a Traditional IRA cannot possibly rollover this to a Roth IRA, as this is not included with the IRA rollover rules; rather this transaction is known as “conversions”.
Roth IRA conversions are totally different from a rollover. But the process of conversions is just like a 401k rollover to a Traditional IRA. Many taxpayers and Individual Retirement Account holders are able to convert their Traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs ever since Roth IRAs were created in 1998.
