The 315th issue of the magazine is all about the Mega Backdoor IRA. For those who haven’t heard of it, this strategy allows individuals to contribute up to $66,000 a year into their 401k plan. If you haven’t used this technique before, keep reading.

First of all, who can use this strategy? Anyone who has a 401k plan that allows after-tax contributions can use the Mega Backdoor IRA. However, not all plans offer this option, so it’s important to check with your employer to see if it’s available.

Next, how does it work? The Mega Backdoor IRA allows individuals to make after-tax contributions to their 401k plan up to the annual limit of $58,000 ($64,500 if over age 50), and then convert those contributions to a Roth IRA. This allows participants to take advantage of the tax-free growth and withdrawals that a Roth IRA offers.

Lastly, what are the limitations? One thing to note is that this strategy is only available to high-income earners, as they can afford to make the large after-tax contributions required. Additionally, some employers may limit the amount of after-tax contributions that can be made to a 401k plan.

Overall, the Mega Backdoor IRA can be a powerful tool for high-income earners looking to save for retirement. However, it’s important to understand the limitations and check with your employer to see if this strategy is available to you.

    公司 match的部分算Employer contributions,不记到个人的Pre-Tax/Roth部分吧?

  2. Bananalane

    可否解釋一下”pro Rata rule” 對你所舉例子的影響呢?

  3. Kate W

    谢谢

  4. North Wind

    有个问题希望有人在这能帮我回答。我已搬回加拿大十几年。人在温歌华。我该怎样把我的401k转到IRA? 我需要去美国-趟办理此事吗?谢谢!

  5. Iris Lynn

    请问pretax 401k可以做mega吗 还是意义不大

  6. Hongyan Wang

    如果同时有Traditional IRA和Roth IRA账户是否不适合转换? 要交更多的税?

  7. Lee Hab

    根據我個人的經驗。 要在上班的這些年中,。 做好tax plan. 否則到了退休後。 再來move 401k/ira to roth. 有可能要付很高bracket 的所得稅

  8. Guobi Zhang

    practical and easy to understand!

  9. S K

    想問另外一個問題:
    假設有traditional IRA 或 Rollover IRA,想在退休之前慢慢轉成Roth IRA 。為了省稅,是不是每年可以從一般IRA 轉一些錢到Roth IRA呢?每年轉錢金額是否有上限?有沒有一個formula 可以使用?

  10. John Lin

    tsp 有after tax contribution吗

  11. E vocabulary

    怎么成这么瘦了,瘦了皱纹多了老了

  12. Ada W

    有一个问题不理解: pre-tax 和roth不是有22500上限吗?那么把after-tax的三万多扔到roth里不会超过上限吗?

  13. PgUp

    谢谢这期视频,非常有帮助!请问,在您的例子里面,after-tax 401(k)是一个单独的Fidelity的账户吗?

  14. Lin Cheng

    这期太有用了!我近期通过mega backdoor的方式往Roth 401k里存了些钱。我发现fidelity里是有把这部分钱rollover到IRA里的选项的。但当我尝试rollover的时候,fidelity显示mega backdoor存进去的钱中的大概十分之一是"Roth Pre-tax assets"。这是为什么呢?通过mega backdoor存到Roth里的钱为什么会是Pre-tax assets?

  15. TED 哥

    还有对于雇主的matching cont,一般是compensation的前X%多少以内,才可以,超过了那就是x%的上限了。

  16. TED 哥

    钱姐,401k退休金,2023年50岁以下的deferral contribution上限是$22,500吧?
    你说$22,600?

  17. Peizhi Yang

    再提供一个思路,如果不能in service conversion, 转出来的时候可以本金放roth 收益放 pre-tax 401k or rollover 401k or IRA 这是我的plan建议的(我们可以in service conversion但是只能一年转一次)。如果你放ira可能会影响你操作 regular backdoor roth。但是我们可以转到rollover ira再转入pre-tax 401k。一定要问清楚你的plan admin。

  18. Always

    非常有用,感谢!

  19. Zhuo Zhang

    我所在的公司只有in-plan conversion,就是提供after tax 401k contribution,也能给转到roth 401k。是不是这种plan就没办法做in service distribution了?那我只能等离职后再把roth 401k rollover到roth ira了?

  20. Hao Yuan

    https://youtu.be/DoYeGraejkA?t=840 第三个bucket (after-tax 401k 里 $31500) 做 in-service conversion 转移到第二个bucket (roth) 的时候,会不会占用$22500的contribution limit (假如pretax已经max到了$22500, 是否还能convert?)
