IRA Taxes

If a converted IRA is opted to be taxed in 2010, is it included in income for the 2010 Roth contri-bution limits for 2010?

No

No, code section 408A says that amounts included in the gross income as a result of a rollover or conversion from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA are not taken into account for purposes of determining the maximum contribution limit for a Roth IRA.
