*There is no 400% FPL income cliff for Roth conversions. This means that you can convert as much money as you want to a Roth IRA, regardless of your income, as long as you meet the other eligibility requirements.

The 400% FPL income cliff is a rule that applies to traditional IRA contributions. It limits the amount of money that you can contribute to a traditional IRA if your income exceeds 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL).
