What is needed to convert my IRA?

You can convert a retirement account to a Roth by completing and submitting a Roth IRA Conversion Request form. Please send completed forms to our team at banking@tastytrade.com. No fees are charged to convert an IRA account, and a notary is unnecessary when filling out the form. However, please be aware of any potential tax consequences due to the conversion.

To obtain a Roth IRA Conversion Request form, please visit our Forms & Agreements page.

Note: No Notary is needed on the Conversion Form

Should I convert to a Roth IRA before I transfer my account?

If you are transferring an IRA (via ACAT) to tastytrade, then you may convert your IRA account at your current firm or perform the conversion at tastytrade. It can be done either way and does not make any difference.
