Retirement tax questions

Thanks for your reply and added notes...

From one of your earlier posts...

To determine the marginal tax rate for a particular type of income you must add or subtract that type of income, see the resulting change in tax liability, then divide the change in tax liability by the change you made in income. 

I tested three conversion amounts up to $200k.

Using your method, the combined fed and state tax on each came up as 34.2%, 31.9% & 31.5%.

I recognize the underlying benefits of converting as well as the pitfalls of added Medicare premiums, the Net Investment income tax of 3.8% plus the higher marginal rate.

Thanks for your input.
