But it sounds to me like u just want to convert ur SEP IRA to roth . Then u just convert and pay taxes . And yes 401k remains separate .
I think I understand what you are saying. If you roll over your SEP IRA to 401K you won't pay pre-tax but you'll eventually pay taxes when you retire. I guess I was being too greedy, trying to avoid paying taxes altogether, pre-tax/post-tax and after retirement.
