Billym,

"2/ Lobo, are you selling anything on your taxable side in order to pay your Roth Conversion taxes? If so, how does that figure into the equation?"

I have nothing left in a taxable account.  It has been spent down, for the reasons discussed in my earlier post.  In general, I'm working to get as much of my portfolio into a Roth as quickly as possible.  And I need to do that before RMDs kick in, because they HAVE to go into taxable!
