IRA tax
I deposited $7,000 into my traditional IRA account this year. I invested the $7,000 in stocks and earned $1,000. I now want to transfer my $7,000 contribution plus $1000 earning from the traditional IRA to a Roth IRA account. However, I don't know how the tax will be calculated when I file my tax return this year? Do I only need to pay tax on the $7,000 contribution, or do I need to pay tax on the $8,000 ($7,000 contribution plus $1,000 earning)? I heard that people only need to pay tax on the amount contributed into the Roth IRA, but not on the earnings generated by the contributed amount, is this correct?
