  • What is a Backdoor Roth IRA?

A backoor Roth IRA is a strategy that allows high-income earners that would not otherwise be able to contribute to a Roth IRA to fund a Roth IRA. The strategy involves making a non-deductible IRA contribution, then converting that balance to a Roth IRA. It is very important to have a tax professional involved when using this strategy as properly reporting on the tax return and tracking each year can be a challenge.
