From what I understand by reading online, any conversion will be taxed at the normal level (aka, it is included in your income for the year?)

So, if I am converting $2000, I will need to prepare for $2000 extra income this year?

Correct. If the conversion is substatial you need to be prepared to pay quarterly estimated taxes the following year too

It's just 2k.

I transferred the money over.

It was around 2k, but I contributed $200 this year to that amount, meaning when it comes tax time, I only add $1800 to my total income, correct?

I think this will be accounted for separately on your income tax return, but in effect it will only be an $1800 effect. So you will show $2k in income from your rollover and separately show $200 in IRA contribution that is pre-tax. I think that is how it will work.

We've been rolling around the idea of doing that to my wife's IRA. She had an old 401k from a previous employer that I just rolled into an IRA. I'd love to have it as a Roth, but leaving it alone for now.
