That's my understanding of the situation, which is why I'm willing to put money in a non-deductable IRA only if converting it to a Roth in 2010 is an option.

If a Roth conversion is not a viable option we'll probably just open a taxable account.

To answer your question, Sweepsplayer, we will be well over the limit, even after taking advantage of available tax shelters.
