AFDB_Director Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, AryaD said: so how are you distributing 19,500 between 401k and IRA? 19,500 in 401k (to take advantage of employer's match as well)and 6000 in backdoor ROTH IRA. Once I jump from current employer to new, I will transfer all my 401k funds to ROTH IRA so that I can manage them by myself. I usually go with Vanguard mutual funds as thy have very low expense ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there are limits on income for contributing to IRA, so everybody may not be able to contribute to traditional IRA as well as backdoor roth IRA. When you transfer funds from 401k to roth IRA that is called taxable conversion. You need to pay taxes on that amount right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You first invest in trad-IRA, then you can do backdoor Roth conversion. if you rollover 401k to Roth IRA, you will pay income taxes, but after that no taxes on all earnings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
