Are you having second thoughts about your traditional or Roth IRA contribution? Maybe you had a surprise on your income taxes. Perhaps you have an unexpected rise in expenses or discovered that your traditional IRA contribution is not deductible. Regardless of the reason, if you change your mind, a recharacterization allows you to move your traditional IRA contribution to a Roth IRA or vice versa.
While this is a great way to fix any regrets, there are some particular rules you must follow. These include guidelines on deadlines, transfers, and custodians.
