Making too much income to contribute directly to a Roth IRA? There may still be an opportunity to build tax-free retirement assets.
One of the strategies we regularly discuss with high-income earners is the Backdoor Roth IRA.
A Roth IRA is a powerful retirement planning tool because your investments can grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals in retirement are also tax-free.
The challenge is that the IRS limits who can contribute directly to a Roth IRA based on income.
A Backdoor Roth IRA generally involves:
1️⃣ Making a non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA
2️⃣ Converting that contribution to a Roth IRA
3️⃣ Properly reporting the transaction on IRS Form 8606
The goal is simple: continue building a pool of tax-free assets that can provide flexibility and control in retirement.
One important reminder: be mindful of the pro-rata rule and how existing pre-tax IRA balances can impact the taxability of this transaction.
Financial planning is not just about knowing what accounts are available, but it is about understanding how the rules work and making intentional decisions based on your personal situation.
