    Sec. 408A. Roth IRAs
 
    (a) General rule
      Except as provided in this section, a Roth IRA shall be treated

    retirement plan.
    (b) Roth IRA
      For purposes of this title, the term ''Roth IRA'' means an
    individual retirement plan (as defined in section 7701(a)(37))

        The aggregate amount of contributions for any taxable year to
      all Roth IRAs maintained for the benefit of an individual shall
      not exceed the excess (if any) of -
          (A) the maximum amount allowable as a deduction under section
        219 with respect to such individual for such taxable year
        (computed without regard to subsection (d)(1) or (g) of such
        section), over

        (A) Dollar limit
          The amount determined under paragraph (2) for any taxable
        year shall not exceed an amount equal to the amount determined
        under paragraph (2)(A) for such taxable year, reduced (but not
        below zero) by the amount which bears the same ratio to such
        amount as -
            (i) the excess of -
              (I) the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for such taxable
            year, over
              (II) the applicable dollar amount, bears to
            (ii) $15,000 ($10,000 in the case of a joint return or a
          married individual filing a separate return).

          taken into account, and
            (ii) the applicable dollar amount is -

          amount equal to--
                          (i) such dollar amount, multiplied by
                          (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment

        (B) Distributions within nonexclusion period
          A payment or distribution from a Roth IRA shall not be

        period beginning with the first taxable year for which the
        individual made a contribution to a Roth IRA (or such
        individual's spouse made a contribution to a Roth IRA)

        distribution to which this paragraph applies -

          which would be includible were it not part of a qualified
          rollover contribution,
            (ii) section 72(t) shall not apply, and
            (iii) unless the taxpayer elects not to have

          included in gross income for any taxable year 
          beginning in 2010 by reason of this paragraph

          The conversion of an individual retirement plan (other than a

        shall include such additional information in reports required

        ensure that amounts required to be included in gross income under

        the following rules shall apply:
          (i) Acceleration of inclusion.--

                included in gross income for any taxable year 
              beginning in 2010 or the first taxable year in the 2-year 
              period under subparagraph (A)(iii) shall be increased 
              by the aggregate distributions from Roth IRAs for such 
              taxable year which are allocable under paragraph (4) to the 
              portion of such qualified rollover contribution required 
              to be included in gross income under subparagraph (A)(i).
              (II) Limitation on aggregate amount included.--

              (A)(iii) shall not exceed the aggregate amount required to 
              be included in gross income under subparagraph (A)(iii) 
              for all taxable years in the 2-year period (without

              all preceding taxable years.
          (ii) Death of distributee
            (I) In general
              If the individual required to include amounts in gross
            income under such subparagraph dies before all of such
            amounts are included, all remaining amounts shall be
            included in gross income for the taxable year which
            includes the date of death.

            (I) acquires the individual's entire interest in any Roth
            IRA to which such qualified rollover contribution is
            properly allocable, the spouse may elect to treat the
            remaining amounts described in subclause (I) as includible
            in the spouse's gross income in the taxable years of the
            spouse ending with or within the taxable years of such
            individual in which such amounts would otherwise have been
            includible.  Any such election may not be made or changed
            after the due date for the spouse's taxable year which
            includes the date of death.
        (F) Special rule for applying section 72

            period beginning with the taxable year in which such
            contribution was made,
         then section 72(t) shall be applied as if such portion were
          includible in gross income.
          (ii) Limitation
            Clause (i) shall apply only to the extent of the amount of
          the qualified rollover contribution includible in gross
          income under subparagraph (A)(i).
      (4) Aggregation and ordering rules

        Roth IRAs and other individual retirement plans.
        (B) Ordering rules
          For purposes of applying this section and section 72 to any
        distribution from a Roth IRA, such distribution shall be
        treated as made -
            (i) from contributions to the extent that the amount of
          such distribution, when added to all previous distributions
          from the Roth IRA, does not exceed the aggregate
          contributions to the Roth IRA; and
            (ii) from such contributions in the following order:

            (3) applies on a first-in, first-out basis.
        Any distribution allocated to a qualified rollover contribution
        under clause (ii)(II) shall be allocated first to the portion
        of such contribution required to be included in gross income.
      (5) Qualified special purpose distribution
        For purposes of this section, the term ''qualified special
      purpose distribution'' means any distribution to which
      subparagraph (F) of section 72(t)(2) applies.
      (6) Taxpayer may make adjustments before due date

        date for any taxable year, a taxpayer transfers in a
        trustee-to-trustee transfer any contribution to an individual
        retirement plan made during such taxable year from such plan to
        any other individual retirement plan, then, for purposes of
        this chapter, such contribution shall be treated as having been
        made to the transferee plan (and not the transferor plan).
        (B) Special rules
          (i) Transfer of earnings
            Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the transfer of any
          contribution unless such transfer is accompanied by any net
          income allocable to such contribution.
          (ii) No deduction
            Subparagraph (A) shall apply to the transfer of any
          contribution only to the extent no deduction was allowed with
          respect to the contribution to the transferor plan.
      (7) Due date
        For purposes of this subsection, the due date for any taxable
      year is the date prescribed by law (including extensions of time)
      for filing the taxpayer's return for such taxable year.
    (e) Qualified Rollover Contribution.--For purposes of this 
      section, the term `qualified rollover contribution' means a rollover 
    contribution--
      (1) to a Roth IRA from another such account,
      (2) from an eligible retirement plan, but only if--
        (A) in the case of an individual retirement plan, 
          such rollover contribution meets the requirements of 
        section 408(d)(3), and
        (B) in the case of any eligible retirement plan 
          (as defined in section 402(c)(8)(B) other than clauses 
        (i) and (ii) thereof), such rollover contribution meets 
        the requirements of section 402(c), 403(b)(8), or 
        457(e)(16), as applicable.
      For purposes of section 408(d)(3)(B), there shall be disregarded any 
      qualified rollover contribution from an individual retirement plan 
      (other than a Roth IRA) to a Roth IRA.
    (f) Individual retirement plan
      For purposes of this section -
        (1) a simplified employee pension or a simple retirement
      account may not be designated as a Roth IRA; and
