If a taxpayer crntevos his or her IRA and then dies, the amount of conversion income not previously reported, will be included in the decedent’s final tax return. However an exception is made if the Roth IRA is inherited by the spouse. If the spouse so elects, the spouse can continue to report the conversion income on the same schedule as the decedent would have. This election cannot be made or rescinded after the due date of the spouse’s tax return for the year of the decedent’s death.
