Anthony: You're asking classic retirement questions. Taxation of social security, potential IRMAA surcharges, Roth conversions, marginal tax rates.
It sounds as if you're familiar enough with these issues to ask the right questions. I'd ask you to consider a tax software program that will allow you to see how these moves might affect taxes and surcharges. It's unfortunate that tax law can be convoluted at times and a software program can show you in dollars/cents what a conversion might cost your parents. TurboTax, HR Block, and others are used a lot around here, and they're not expensive.
