The rule is, if it's already in .jpg form, just leave it alone. But you generally want to work with lossless formats so your quality doesn't suffer when you have to re-save the file.
So if you have a choice, save as .tif or .psd, because you can always create a lossy version if u need to send in email(25MB limit), but you cannot get a high quality lossless .tif back, from only a .jpg.
Alot of printing houses will ask you to give them a .tif. And one drawback is I think I remember certain photo cloud services like smugmug won't let you upload in .tif because they aren't expecting it. You can't upload a .tif to facebook, either.
