The tax software I'm using is saying you can't convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA for 2009 to the extent the required minimum distribution for the year hasn't been distributed. I know this was correct for 2010.

Am I wrong, I thought since distributions were not required in 2009 I could still do a partial convert to our Roth. If not ,is my only option to recharacterize? Any other options? Hopefully I'm not wrong.
