If I do an end of year conventional IRA to Roth IRA Conversion, can I make the associated Tax Payment at the time of the conversion to avoid a late tax payment penalty?
Yes, you can make the associated tax payment for your conversion to avoid penalties - and I highly encourage it.
This penalty specifically applies when the total tax payments made during the year fall short of either 90% of the current year’s tax that’s owed or 100% of the previous year’s tax.
All your tax payments for the tax year count towards your taxes at the end of the year.
