Of course, these gifts come with strings attached known as "restric- tions" and "deferred taxes." One of these gifts is called an indi- vidual retirement account, or IRA. With an IRA, you deposit untaxed dol- lars that grow until you withdraw them in retirement. There is a catch -- and a pretty big one: The taxes you didn't pay were only deferred, not forgiven. As you withdraw the money, you must pay taxes on it -- including federal, state and local taxes. In 1998, a new kind of IRA, called a Roth IRA, was introduced. With a Roth IRA, you have to pay the taxes first, which means you contribute after-tax dollars (currently up to $5,000 or, if you are 50 or older, $6,000 per year). You don't get that deferred tax break on the front end, but the entire account becomes nontaxable -- even the growth. This is huge, espe- cially for young people, who are look- ing at many years of investment growth. In the past, you could change your mind midstream and convert a tradi- tional IRA to a Roth IRA, but there were restrictions. For example, if your modified adjusted gross income was more than $100,000, you couldn't do it. In 2010, however, this restriction has been lifted. Anyone can convert any IRA of any size to a Roth IRA. There is one small prob- lem, however. Because the money in a traditional IRA has not been taxed, Uncle Sam will require you to pay those federal taxes (and any state and local taxes, too) when you make the switch. Now, before you assume you cannot afford to take advantage of what I see as a great opportunity because of the taxes, there's more good news. For 2010 only, you can opt to have the taxable income from your conversion reported in two equal installments in 2011 and 2012. That gives you effectively until 2013 to pay the taxes, as your 2012 taxes will not be due until April 15, 2013. You must do the conversion in 2010 to take advantage of paying the taxes in installments. Being able to put off the tax bill and pay it over two years should lighten the burden. If you have a traditional IRA or a 401(k) account that can be converted to a Roth IRA, be sure to talk with your tax pro- fessional about details that pertain to your specific tax situation. You will want to time your conversion to your best advantage. For many taxpay- ers, it makes sense to convert as early in 2010 as possible to gain as much as possible from the tax-free growth that a Roth IRA offers. However, if you're unsure of what your income will be and what tax bracket you'll be in, it might make sense to wait until the second half of 2010 to get a better handle on the tax con- sequences.

Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Obituaries George Alfred "Mike" Zu- malt, 87, of Cottonwood, California passed away at his home on Jan. 22, 2010. Mike was born in Weiser, Idaho on May 7, 1922 and moved to Gerber, CA at the age of 2 months. He was the youngest and last survivor of 5 brothers and 2 sisters born to James Fredrick and Ber- tha Moore Zumalt. He mar- ried his lifelong companion, Patricia Jean Rose Mohr on Dec. 26, 1941 in Reno, Ne- vada. Pat and Mike celebrat- ed their 68th Wedding Anni- versary last month. Mike is survived by his loving wife Patricia and 3 children; Mi- chael (Linda) Zumalt of Car- michael, CA, Jeannie (Ed- ward) David of Cottonwood, Jeremy (Monteca) Zumalt of Cottonwood; 7 grandchil- dren; 11 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He was simply the greatest and most loving husband, father, grandfa- ther, and great grandfather. His kindness, wit, smile and love are irreplaceable and will be missed by all who knew him. Mike was a veter- an of World War II, having served as a Staff Sergeant with the 44th Fighter Squad- ron of the 13th Army Air Force. The 13AF participat- ed in the Pacific Theater of WWII and Mike was present at the following battles and campaigns: Guadalcanal; Northern Solomons; Bis- mark Archipelago; New Guinea; Leyte; Luzon; Southern Philippines; Cen- tral Pacific and the Western Pacific. In the fall of 1945, Mike returned home from the Pacific and was em- ployed for a short while with the Southern Pacific Rail- road, working in the Round House in Gerber. He then started his lifelong vocation as a lineman and splicer for Pacific Telephone, working out of their office in Red Bluff. He always dreaded our heavy winter storms be- cause that was when his services were needed most. His family has a picture of Mike, on snowshoes some- where out of Alturas repair- ing lines without even climb- ing the pole because the snow was so high. Mike was a strong swimmer, having learned by necessity at an early age, because his older brothers would have him jump off the old Tehama Bridge into the river while they waited below. This was, of course, without his moth- er's knowledge. He loved being outdoors and he loved to camp, hunt and fish. Even though he hated the winter storms when he had to work, he waited for those very same storms when it came to hunting ducks, geese or deer. Crawling through the water and mud, chilled to the bone, to sneak up on a flock of ducks or geese, waiting on a deer mi- gration trail in sleet and rain, he was happy. A good trout stream with the anticipation of the "next" hole would bring a big smile to his face. Mike started his schooling at the Gerber Christian School and then Gerber Elementary School. He lettered in foot- ball and graduating from Red Bluff High School in 1941. His early education in Gerber Christian School started a lifelong love for God's Word, which he in turn taught his children. His life was a quiet but strong example of a Godly man, and he looked forward to the day when he would meet his Savior, "Face to Face". Our gentle warrior fought a four- day battle, fighting to stay with the family that loved his so, and fighting to leave this earth for heaven. His family, who surrounded him for those days, could not expect anything less from this ex- ceptional man. George Alfred Zumalt, Mike, Husband, Dad, Grand Dad, Great Grand Dad, Uncle and Friend, after fighting so hard, chose one single, private minute to quietly end his battle, and with great joy in heaven, finally met his Lord and Savior. We are so proud of him. Graveside services will be at 10:00 am, Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010 at the Tehama Cemetery. A memorial service will fol- low at 11:30 am at Gerber Bible Fellowship, located at 301 Samson Avenue in Gerber, with a potluck re- ception immediately follow- ing. If you can bring a side dish or dessert, it would be appreciated. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to Gerber Bible Fellowship, earmarked for the Good Samaritan Fund.
