Over the Roth IRA Limit?

There's still a way in.

If your income is above $168,000 (single) or $252,000 (joint), you're no longer eligible to contribute directly to a Roth IRA. But that does not close the door on tax-free retirement growth. The Backdoor Roth IRA is a legal two-step strategy that gives high earners access to the same benefits, regardless of income.[1]

Single Filers Limit

$168K+

Income where direct Roth contributions phase out completely

Joint Filers Limit

How the Backdoor Roth IRA Works

step 1

Contribute to a Traditional IRA

Put after-tax dollars into a Traditional IRA. No deduction is taken since the goal here is the conversion, not the tax break upfront.

step 2

Convert to a Roth IRA

Roll those funds into your Roth IRA. From this point on, the money grows tax-free and you keep it all at withdrawal.

Roth IRA

Under $168K (single) / $252K (joint)

[1] Risks and Important Information

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Roth conversions may generate taxable income, and the tax consequences of a Backdoor Roth IRA strategy depend on an individual’s specific financial situation, including existing IRA balances and the application of the IRS pro-rata rule. WealthRabbit does not provide tax or legal advice. Investors should consult with a qualified tax advisor, CPA, or financial professional before implementing a Roth conversion or Backdoor Roth IRA strategy. Eligibility requirements, contribution limits, income thresholds, and IRS regulations may change and can affect the suitability or outcome of this strategy. Automation tools are designed to facilitate execution but do not eliminate tax risk, reporting obligations, or compliance requirements. Investors are responsible for reviewing account activity and ensuring the accuracy of tax filings, including IRS Form 8606 and other applicable forms.
