If a conversion is made and the four years elected, if in year 2,3,or 4, a large capital gain occurs and puts me in a very high tax bracket, can I go back and file an amended return for 1998 to pay the entire tax as of that year?

It depends on whether the election to spread the conversion income out over four years is irrevocable, which I don't know off the top of my head.

I realize not much help, but something to at least consider.

The election is IRREVOCABLE.
