I inherited a traditional IRA. Can I convert it to a Roth IRA?
Yes. Making the conversion requires you to report all the income in the account, so determine whether you want or can afford to do this. You can opt to convert only a portion of the account.

Exemption
A fixed deduction allowed to every taxpayer, except those who may be claimed as a dependent by another person. Extra exemption deductions are allowed for a spouse on a joint return and for each qualifying dependent. A deduction of $3,400 is allowed for each exemption claimed on 2007 returns, but the deduction is phased out for certain high income individuals.
