[ Offshore Tax ] Let's Talk About Roth IRA Contributions for Couples Using FEIE The Backdoor Roth IRA is a strategy that high earners use to convert a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. This strategy allows them to make contributions to an IRA, roll it over to a Roth IRA, or convert the entire IRA to a Roth. The Backdoor Roth IRA strategy is a legal method to circumvent the income limits that typically prevent high earners from owning Roth IRAs. This strategy is not a tax dodge. While establishing a Backdoor Roth IRA may incur higher taxes initially, it offers the future tax savings associated with a Roth account. Moreover, the Backdoor Roth IRA strategy can be advantageous for individuals who anticipate having leftover funds in their traditional IRA. They can transfer these funds to their heirs through a Roth IRA.

[ Offshore Tax ] Let's talk about US retirement account contributions while working abroad The IRA distribution rules for U.S. citizens living abroad are the same as those for citizens residing stateside. Whether you can contribute to your regular or Roth IRA while living abroad depends on your foreign income and the exclusions and deductions you claim, namely the foreign earned income exclusion (FEIE) or foreign housing exclusion. To contribute to an IRA while living abroad, you must have income left over after deductions and exclusions. If you exclude all of your income with the FEIE and have no other sources of earned income, you are not eligible to contribute to an IRA. However, if you only exclude part of your income or claim the foreign tax credit (FTC) instead, you may still be able to contribute to an IRA.
