I logged in this morning before the market opened wanting to convert $80K from my tIRA to my Roth. In the past (such as in April '22) I simply indicated the dollar amount and it was converted.
Today, Vanguard made me enter the number of shares I wanted to convert; I wasn't allowed to enter a dollar amount. So I found yesterday's (really Friday's) mutual fund closing price, did the math, and performed the conversion.
When did this change? Or is it because I converted my tIRA account at Vanguard to a brokerage account? I did that last month to begin buying T-Bills.
Since mutual funds' prices don't change until the end of the day, will I potentially convert more or less than I wanted to? How do you folks handle this? Or do you not sweat it?
