I converted my IRAs (both deductible and non-deductible) to Roth this year,
and have a couple questions.

1.  Am I _required_ to spread the income over 4 years, or can I take it all
in 1998?

2.  If I decide to spread the income over 4 years and in that get married
and my income goes over the limit (or if I somehow miraculously surpass the
limit on my own), will I incur some sort of penalty regarding the
conversion, or will I continue to be allowed to pay the taxes?

Thanks.
