It allows you to circumvent the Roth income restrictions and contribute to the retirement vehicle even if you\u2019re earning more than $135,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>You can also roll over more than the yearly contribution limit into a Roth IRA if the traditional IRA has more than $6000.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a simple two-step process to do it too:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open up a traditional IRA account (more on how to do this later) and contribute up to $6,000 (or $7,000 if you\u2019re older than 50).<\/li>\n<li>As soon as the funds are in your traditional IRA and before they accumulate earnings, transfer or \u201croll over\u201d your money into your Roth IRA. Since they haven\u2019t accumulated any interest, this is considered non-taxable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Voila! You\u2019re now able to contribute to a Roth IRA no matter what your income is.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still struggling to decide on whether it\u2019s right for you, here\u2019s a handy chart:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>A good candidate for a Backdoor Roth&#8230;<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>A bad candidate for a Backdoor Roth&#8230;<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Makes MORE than $135,000 \/ year (or $199,000 as married joint filers)<\/li>\n<li>Can keep funds in Roth IRA for at least five years<\/li>\n<li>Anticipates being in a HIGHER income bracket upon retirement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Make LESS than $135,000 \/ year (or $199,000 as married joint filers)<\/li>\n<li>Needs the funds in Roth IRA within five years<\/li>\n<li>Anticipates being in a LOWER income bracket upon retirement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3>The Pro-Rata rule<\/h3>\n<p>The Backdoor Roth does NOT mean you won\u2019t be taxed. If you convert your traditional IRA into a Roth IRA you will be taxed on any deductible IRAs you have when you file your taxes at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Pro-Rata rule \u2014 a method of determining what money is taxable if you hold both pre- and after-tax money across ALL of your IRAs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have $6,500 untaxed dollars in your traditional IRA and you convert it to your Roth IRA, you will owe money on the entire $6,500 along with any money your traditional IRA accrued in its investments.<\/p>\n<p>However, you won\u2019t be taxed on the money you roll over if the funds in your traditional IRA have <em>already been taxed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you have $45,000 in a traditional IRA and it is all taxable. One day, you decide to put $5,000 into a new Backdoor Roth. That means you\u2019ll have $50,000 in total across all your IRAs. How much do you think you\u2019d get taxed?<\/p>\n<p>Since 10% of your IRAs are tax-free (5,000 is 10% of 50,000), that means the remaining 90% can be taxed. So when you put $5,000 into your Roth, then, you\u2019ll be taxed $4,500 \u2014 which is bad. In this case, you might find it in your best interest NOT to use a Backdoor Roth.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the Pro-Rata rule, you might find that it isn\u2019t worth being taxed to transfer your money from your traditional IRA into your Roth IRA (depending on how much after- and pre-tax income you have in your account).<\/p>\n<p>Once the funds are in your Roth IRA, though, they\u2019ll compound interest tax-free. You\u2019ll be able to withdraw the money without taking on new taxes once you are 59 \u00bd or older and have had the Roth for at least five years.<\/p>\n<h2>The (possible) half-life of a Backdoor Roth<\/h2>\n<p>The Backdoor Roth was made available to all investors regardless of income <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/personal-finance\/2016\/6\/6\/11821072\/backdoor-roth-ira-contributions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in 2010<\/a><\/u>. That was when Congress allowed investors to get around the Roth IRA income limit via a traditional IRA.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hasn\u2019t formally acknowledged the existence of the Backdoor Roth. Like so many things tax related, your ability to contribute via a Backdoor Roth might change if the IRS decides that the loophole is in violation of their policies.<\/p>\n<p>That would mean anyone leveraging a Backdoor Roth may have to pay a hefty penalty for over contributing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa601c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fa601c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">The world wants you to be vanilla...<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81a2e84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81a2e84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2026but you don\u2019t have to take the same path as everyone else.
