can you rollover roth ira contributions to a traditional ira?

Question

I have both and would like to reap the tax deduction

Answer 1

No, you can go the other way, but not Roth to traditional. But if you already have a Roth IRA, you can still start or add to a traditional IRA within the yearly contribution limits, and get the deduction.

Answer 2

No.

Even if you could, you would not get any tax deduction. Only regular contributions directly to traditional IRA's can be deducted; rollovers cannot be deducted.
