Retirement tax questions

It is a rollover because you are moving it from one retirement account to another.  This is important because rollovers do not count or reduce your annual contribution limit.  It is also a conversion because you are changing it from a 401k which is pretax funds to a Roth so you will have to pay the tax on the contribtuions.
