I am 60 years old now and retired in April of this year.
I started receiving my retirement payments in October of this year. This will be one of my lowest income years.
I am single and expect to be in a high tax bracket, particularly from 70+ as I plan to wait until 70 to take SS.
I am planning to call Vanguard and do a Roth Conversion for 2019 from my 401k that is at Vanguard to my Roth account that is also at Vanguard.
I plan to withdraw from Total Bond in 401K and deposit in Total Bond in Roth and then rebalance after the first of the year if needed.
I plan to pay taxes owed from my savings when I file taxes, so I will ask for no withholding on the conversion.
Is there anything I need to make sure to tell Vanguard or anything else I should be careful about?
This will be my first time doing a conversion from my 401K and I want to make sure I do it correctly.
