简单的说有4种:

Income below Roth limit:after tax money buys Roth IRA Roth 401K: change job => rollover to Roth IRA 401K: change job => Rollover to IRA. Convert before tax money from IRA to Roth IRA. Pay tax. Above Roth income limit: After tax money buys IRA. Record after tax base in form 8606. Convert from IRA to Roth IRA. Use form 8606 to calculat taxable amount.

我就问一下, 第三种情况:

401K: change job => Rollover to IRA. Convert before tax money from IRA to Roth IRA. Pay tax.

我把以前employer的pretax 401 转出来给rollover ira 了, 现在要把这个转成roth ira, 比如我有20万pretax rollover ira, 今年我转5万到Roth IRA, 那么就是这5万算到我今年的收入, 对吗? 

 

Income below Roth limit:after tax money buys Roth IRA

对于 这个, 我一年6000 (低于50岁), 和上面的rollover IRA没关系, 对吗? 只要我今年的收入(包括转过来的5万rolloverIRA) 不超过限制, 我就可以继续contribute, 对吗?

 

谢谢, 辛苦了

看form 8606 instructions

8606 line 6: 
Enter the value of all your traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs as of December 31, 2020, plus any outstanding rollovers. Subtract any repayments of qualified disaster distributions (see 2020 Forms 8915-C, 8915-D, and 8915-E) .

所以跟有几个IRA没关系。

少小离家大难归
你今年转的5万加入报税,但是不作为计算IRA contribution limit 的基数。

我的理解:报税时有关系。多少算income,多少免除。

收入:5万加上有可能的gains from 50K & 6K

form 8606 计算举例:

Simple 8606 calculation with 401K rollover $2,after tax contribution $2 (Assuming no gains) :

convert to Roth $2: $1 towards income base, $1 tax free, $1 after tax base carry over, IRA = $2, Roth IRA = $2  convert to Roth $4: $2 towards income base, $2 tax free, $0 after tax base carry over, IRA = $0, Roth IRA = $4

做back door之前,要预估一下income。

最好不要提升marginal tax rate
