Generally, your marital status is determined as of January 1 of each year. If your spouse is the

beneficiary of your IRA on January 1, he or she remains a beneficiary only for purposes of calculating the

required minimum distribution for that IRA even if you get divorced or your spouse dies during the year.

You must increase your IRA balance by any outstanding rollover and recharacterized Roth IRA

conversions that were not in any traditional IRA on December 31 of the previous year.
