Re: Rollover IRA Question (x-post)
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks. One other question, if you have the time. I meet the criteria to make the maximum contribution to the IRA. Is there any sense in selling $4,000 of stock and putting it in the IRA (since it's tax-deductible)? I know I'll pay taxes on the stock gains after I sell it, but a $1,000 deduction far outweighs the amount of taxes I'd pay on certain gains. Does this make any sense at all?

How long have you owned the stocks? If the sale is taxed at long term 15% rate, then I don't see a problem.
