retirement planning requires diligence and strategy, especially when it comes to saving for your future income. One such strategy that has gained popularity in recent years is the backdoor Roth IRA. This strategy is particularly useful for high-income earners who wish to save for their retirement but are not eligible for a Roth IRA because of income limits.

To understand the backdoor Roth IRA strategy, we must first understand what a Roth IRA is. A Roth IRA is an Individual retirement account that allows you to save for retirement with after-tax dollars. This means that you pay taxes on the money you contribute upfront, and when you withdraw the funds in retirement, the money is tax-free.

However, there are income limits that restrict who can contribute to a Roth IRA. For the year 2021, the income limit for individuals is $140,000 and for married couples is $208,000. If you earn more than this, you are not eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA directly.

This is where the backdoor Roth IRA comes in. The backdoor Roth IRA strategy involves two steps: first, you make a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA, and second, you convert the traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. This is completely legal and, in some cases, advantageous.

The key to the backdoor Roth IRA strategy is that there are no income limits on making contributions to a traditional IRA. However, there are income limits on converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. Therefore, high-income earners can make a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA and then immediately convert it to a Roth IRA, effectively circumventing the income limits.

For example, let’s say you earn $200,000 a year and want to contribute to a Roth IRA. You are not eligible because you exceed the income limits. However, you can make a $6,000 nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA and then immediately convert it to a Roth IRA. Since you already paid taxes on the $6,000, there would be no taxes due on the conversion. This would allow you to have a Roth IRA with the benefits of tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

It’s important to note that the backdoor Roth IRA strategy is not for everyone. If you have a significant amount of money in traditional IRA accounts, the conversion could trigger a significant tax bill. Additionally, you cannot make a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA if you have any other IRA accounts that have not been taxed yet.

Overall, the backdoor Roth IRA strategy is a legal and viable option for high-income earners who want to save for their retirement. However, it’s essential to consult with a financial advisor beforehand to determine if this strategy is right for you and to discuss the potential tax implications. With careful planning and consideration, you can achieve your retirement planning goals and secure your financial future.

    你好 Sherry , 谢谢你的讲解, 2020 年 我和我老公分别放了 6000 美金 到 roth ira , 但是我们 2021 年今年整理报税的时候 ,发现 我们工资超了, 我们现在在延期报税,我和我老公分开报税,所以我们 在 报税前分别把6000 美金roth ira 的钱 和6000 所产生的 gain 转到了 tranditional IRA, 但是因为我们 工资超了 ,我们不能抵税在 tramditional IRA 里面的钱。 那我们需要 今年报 8606 这个表格 还是再2022报这个表格? 说我们放进去的$6000 已经交税了。如果报的 话 ,我们需要 把总的金额 (6000 和它所产生的 利润)填到 8606 里面么,还是只报8606 不能坻税6000这一部分报了 ? 然后余下的6000 美元之前在 ira 产生的 gain ,等从 tranditional 里 拿出来再交税?

    Sherry 讲得真好特别有条理! 我看了一整天包括其他youtuber, 一亩三分地,investpedia,您解释得最清楚了! 我的情况是,2020年的税已经报过了,上周才开的IRA.。请问我现在还可以存2020年的tranditional IRA,走backdoor IRA吗?感觉如果存入之后马上转,也不会影响税额,但是现在不能改税表了。

  17. maggie zhang

    谢谢您的分享,我尝试从传统ira向roth ira transfer税后金额,但fidelity系统提示需要纳税,是不是应选择现在不纳税,后续填8066表就可以了?

  18. Don Lee

    If I move $6000 from bank (after tax dollars) to traditional IRA and then Roth IRA, does it mean I don't need to pay tax for that $6000 although I have already paid tax for it? If so, I can deduct $6000 from my income?

  19. Grace Chi
