    So we should not do the conversation if we have an old IRA? What should be done with the old IRA?

    If I rolled over my old 401k and it remains pre tax does it still count?

    What if you’re using after tax dollars after you’ve maxed out your pre-tax 401K contributions? For example, say I max out my 401K and employer match, but still have $25,000 post tax contributions into my employer 401K account. Does this rule still apply if I rollover these post tax dollars into a ROTH IRA? I’ve heard this strategy referred to as the mega back door ROTH. Thanks!

    Helps to do roth contributions to 401k or a roth 401k in general and also everyone I have seen tells people they will have to pay the tax, on tax deferred contributions when they do this. Which is why we recommend roth contributions to 401k to offset the tax burden. Thanks for helping young folks but they could use these work arounds. Also recommend self directed roth ira and start real estate investing or precious metals etc.

    Is this only considered if you converted your 401k to a Rollover IRA that year? Does it apply the following year even though you already converted it the year before?

    Remember the tax rate is progressive and is not 13% on the whole of the 100,000
