Rollover IRA conversion to ROTH

[Jeff Cliff]

Hello,

I am exploring the possibility of converting some or all of my Rollover IRA account into ROTH IRA account to reduce my tax burden when I retire. I understand that this would be a taxable event and I would be required to pay taxes for this conversion. However, my question is, what are some of the mechanisms to reduce or offset this tax burden? Can I also do this conversions in smaller chunks over the next few years, provided tax laws don't change?

Thanks in advance for your response.
