Q. I will be retiring June 30. I contributed $100,000 to my Voluntary Contribution Plan account between September 2010 and the present. I plan to roll over the $100,000 to my Roth IRA upon retirement; have the Office of Personnel Management withhold 20 percent for tax on the interest that it earned; then roll over the remainder to the Roth IRA also. Is that doable?
A. The accrued interest will be considered a conversion. I believe that is doable, but you should check with your tax preparer to be sure.
