One of the main reasons that people choose to recharacterize a Roth IRA back into a Traditional IRA is because their investments have suffered serious losses since their conversion. For example, if you have a Traditional IRA with a balance of $100,000 that you converted into a Roth IRA, you owe taxes on that conversion.here are several reasons that you may want or need to recharacterize an IRA contribution. Your contribution may benefit from a recharacterization if the value of your investments has declined since the time you made the conversation from Traditional IRA to a Roth.
If you recharacterized a deductible IRA contribution as a Roth IRA contribution, you will owe extra tax. If you recharacterized a non-deductible IRA to a Roth IRA or vice versa, your tax owed will not change, but you still need to amend the return to correct your IRS Form 8606, Nondeductible IRAs.n January 2010, with the Traditional IRA now worth $7000, you decide that a Roth IRA would be better. If you convert the Traditional IRA to a Roth, you would get a $1250 tax reduction for 2009 but owe $1750 for 2010. If you recharacterize the 2009 contribution as a Roth contribution, you save $500 in taxes.
