The Retirement Tax Bomb refers to the massive IRA/401(k) tax burden that could hit high income earners in their retirement years. They accumulated assets pre-tax for decades to lower their yearly taxable income, and now that their accounts are massive, the taxman cometh.

To alleviate this burden, financial planners, CPAs, and tax advisers started talking about using Roth IRAs to lower their taxes in retirement.

A Backdoor Roth IRA conversion allows you to convert nondeductible traditional IRA contributions to a Roth IRA, even if you make too much money to do so.

Here’s how it works:
Open a Traditional IRA and max out your nondeductible contributions to it. ($6k under 50, $7k over 50 for 2022)
Then, IMMEDIATELY convert it to a Roth IRA. Why immediately? So, you don’t earn any interest on the contributions, and pay no taxes on the conversion.

Do this every year it is available!!! The Build Back Better Act was trying to eliminate this strategy.

The backdoor Roth conversion is best for somebody:
who has already maxed out other retirement savings options.
who is a high-income earner.
who is willing to leave the money in the Roth for at least five years
who does not have other Roth assets.
Make sure to speak to your tax advisor before doing this.
