My 401K plan won't allow rule 55 early withdrawals, so I am thinking of setting up a 72t distribution from 1 IRA account as an option to get pretax $ before age 59.5 . My question is if I do a Roth conversion from the 72t account in some years, would that count as a 72 distribution? I think the answer is no, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance for all replies.
