Thanks, Sweeps.

Spouse and I are unmarried, so it won't help to have his employer withhold more taxes. I don't use tax software. We have to file on paper because of some oddities related to the fact that we're not married, have a child together, and own real estate together. For example, to take the mortgage interest deduction we have to include a letter stating that this property is owned jointly with this other person, and that only one of us is deducting the mortgage interest.

I still need to do my 2007 taxes. Then I guess I'll play with some projections for 2008.

Why do you think I should stick with the Roth? If I no longer have an employer paying part of my social security and medicare taxes, doesn't it make more sense to make before-tax contributions to a retirement account?
