No, a 457 IRA is no the same as a Roth IRA. A 457 IRA is a type of retirement account that holds money pre-tax, so when the money is withdrawn in retirement, it is taxed as income at that time. A Roth IRA is funded with after tax dollars, and taxes are not assessed at the time of withdrawal.
Roth IRA Conversion Taxes. When you convert from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA you pay income tax on the contributions. The taxable amount that is converted is added to your income taxes and your regular income rate is applied to your total income.
IRAs are typically pre-taxed savings accounts, which offer you an initial tax break by lowering your taxable income. You will pay taxes on the money as it is withdrawn. ROTH IRAs are typically not pre-taxed and therefore you do not pay taxes on money that is withdrawn.
To convert a regular IRA into a Roth IRA you have to pay federal income taxes on any pre-tax contributions, as well as any growth in the investment's value. http://www.money-zine.com/Financial-Planning/Retirement/2010-Roth-IRA-Conversions/

No. Dividends in a Roth IRA account are not subject to income tax.
There is a special version of an individual retirement account (IRA) that is known as a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA has several benefits over a traditional IRA for individuals who are attempting to supplement other retirement savings accounts. The Roth IRA has a lower yearly contribution limit than a standard IRA. A Roth IRA is also not available to people who earn more than a certain amount each year. One of the main benefits of a Roth IRA is that the money in the account is tax free as long as it is withdrawn under the proper circumstances. The money that is contributed to the account is deposited after taxes. Contributors can avoid paying taxes on all money that is earned through account investments by giving up the initial tax deduction that an IRA would normally provide. There are also no distribution requirements on a Roth IRA. This means that money can be left in the account and invested for as long as desired without any penalties. The money that is in a Roth IRA is very accessible to the account holder. Any direct contribution to the account can be withdrawn at any time without taxes or penalties. Any rollover money in the account can be withdrawn after the account has been active for a few years. There are also a number of exemptions like educational expenses that can allow an individual to withdraw money the Roth IRA without penalty. All of the money in the Roth IRA can be withdrawn at any time without taxes or penalties after the owner has reached the federal retirement age. A Roth IRA has many other benefits that a traditional IRA does not offer. The money in a Roth account can be given to surviving relatives as an inheritance. A Roth IRA can be maintained with all tax benefits at the same time as a standard IRA account. Families and individuals that meet the income requirements for a Roth IRA can find that the account is more profitable over time than a traditional IRA. This is accented by the fact that the money can be withdrawn completely tax free after a certain point.
