It's that time of the year again when I come back to BC for this thread

Form 8806 has to do with changing capital structure of the corporation. Is this the correct form? if so do you need to convert the monetary amount to stocks?

I know u probably wrote it by mistake but the term needs to be clear not to make any mistakes. You would be doing a convertion not roll over of a traditional IRA (that u funded with non deductible fund due to ur high income) to a Roth IRA. The process is called a backdoor roth. There is no such a entity as backdoor roth. It's simply roth ira.

If you have separate 401K and SEP accounts, and want to convert only the SEP account to Roth IRA, will you be able to maintain both accounts separately?
From what I understood you'll have to roll over the SEP account into 401K and then convert 401K to Roth IRA. So you will no longer have 401K. Is that what you're doing?
