Another ROTH conversion question....
I'm really trying to wrap my head around this but am having a hard time. I ER'd last year so this is the first year I won't have any W-2 income.
Given the above parameters:
Can I contribute to a ROTH using my taxable assets, convert some of my tax advantaged assets to a ROTH, or both?
If so, how much?
Thanks for any input, because I have this nagging feeling that I'm not taking advantage of something I should be.

- 65% of my portfolio is in a taxable account. The dividends and cap gain distributions it provides are more than enough to meet my needs, yet I still have plenty of room before I'm pushed out of the 15% tax bracket filing single head of household with a minor dependent.
- 35% of my portolio is in an IRA that was the result of a 401K rollover last year.
- I'll turn 55 next summer.
