FV_TaxFree vs FV_Taxable with drawdown taxes
Can I have multiple IRAs?
Yes. You can own multiple IRAs, though annual contribution limits apply across all IRA accounts in aggregate.

A Roth conversion can make sense if you expect your tax rate to rise, or if you have a year with unusually low taxable income.
