Last tax year 2009, I chose to convert 00 of my kids Traditional IRA to his Roth IRA. I understand that the 00 will be taxable to him. However, is the taxable amount considered unearned income to him and now subject to"Kiddy Tax" ?

I’m 34 and want to start a Roth IRA for myself and plan to to contribute the max amount in one contribution each year. I know I want to go with either Fidelity, Vanguard, or T. Rowe. I know very little about investing and would like to feel secure with the investment. I know there are too many funds to choose from and I don’t understand them. Thanks for your suggestions.

I qualify for foreign earned income exclusion. This shows as a negative on income on the tax form. If I convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, the IRS will withhold some taxes. Since my income is negative, can I get these taxes back at the end of the year? Alternatively, can my negative income offset capital gain taxes?
Using the Turbotax program, it takes the value from form 2555, and places it as a negative number in form 1040. Reading the instructions from form 2555, it says to place the value in parenthesis which indicates a negative, correct?

I expect to NOT make more than 20 trades a year. I am mostly interested in company stocks, but would like the option of a few mutual funds. I also do not need any fancy investment tools or a broker to hold my hand. I would like fast reliable trades, and a decent interest on my cash. I have ,000 to start investing with. Thank you!
