The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm pretty sure this is all above board, but my Fidelity rep is unsure.

Here's the story: I had merged two SEP IRAs recently, leaving me with one SEP IRA, a solo 401(k), and a traditional IRA containing pre-tax (70%) and after-tax (30%) contributions. The 401(k) does allow incoming rollovers.

I want to rollover the SEP IRA and the pre-tax part of the traditional IRA to the solo 401(k), and the after-tax to a new Roth IRA, and not pay any income tax.

These IRS publications seem to allow it:

irs.gov - Rollover chart

irs.gov - Rollovers of after tax contributions in retirement plans

Though I am confused as to what I'd put on form 8606.

Anyone done something similar, or know if it can be done?
