However, there are income limitations for contributing directly to a Roth IRA. This means that if you earn too much, you may not be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA directly. But don't fret, there is a way to still take advantage of a Roth IRA through a backdoor Roth IRA strategy. A backdoor Roth IRA is a method that allows high-income earners to bypass the income limitations and contribute to a Roth IRA indirectly. The strategy involves making a non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA and then converting it to a Roth IRA. This workaround allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of a Roth IRA despite their high inc...

The ultimate benefits of a Roth IRA vs. a traditional IRA are subjective depending on the individual and what tax bracket they expect to be in when they reach retirement age. In other words, would you prefer to receive your tax benefits now or after you retire? Since Roth IRA contributions aren't deductible and qualified withdrawals are tax-free, they may ultimately be a better option for those in a relatively low tax bracket at the time of investing. However, if you qualify for the traditional IRA tax deduction and are in a moderate-to-high tax bracket, then the immediate tax savings might be a better tradeoff. As a general rule of thumb, if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket when you retire, a traditional IRA might make more sense. However, if you expect to be in the same or higher tax bracket when you retire, it could be wiser to pony up the tax dollars upfront with a Roth IRA. But again, if you’re unsure of what your financial situation is going to look ...

If you’re a resident or military member, maximize Roth contributions. If you’re in a low-income year for any reason, such as a sabbatical, use Roth contributions. Use a personal and spousal backdoor Roth IRA each year. That way, even if you choose to make all tax-deferred 401(k) contributions, you’re still getting some money into Roth accounts. If you can pay the tax with money in a taxable account and expect to work part time or retire in your 50s, then consider making Roth conversions during those years before receiving Social Security or a pension to “fill up the lower brackets.” If you save and invest more than 20 percent of your gross income, lean a little more toward Roth investments. If you save and invest less, use tax-deferred accounts preferentially. The White Coat Investor has been helping doctors with their money since 2011.
