"Hi Joe, Al and the Great and Powerful Andi! Regarding Podcast 391 at 23:54, 32-year-old Mike said he made his Roth $6000 "contribution" through a back door "conversion". Maybe I am off-base here, but I wonder if there is some confusion related to the conversion and contribution terms. His income for a "contribution" was too high for a direct Roth contribution. However; if he is converting to a ROTH IRA, that's a different story and he should NOT mark it on his taxes as a "contribution" because it is a conversion. The $6000 limit is also for a contribution but not a conversion. For Mike's sake, in case there is confusion on the terminology, can you explain the differences between ROTH contributions and their limits (income/contribution) compared to a ROTH conversion with limits (income/conversion NOT "contribution")? Thanks, Nancy" Listen to the entire Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast: Download the Comple

"Hello, love the show! My wife and I are 41, have 4 kids, I drive a 2020 Nissan Altima and we have a cat. I have a rollover IRA worth about $315k, Roth IRA of about $100k and a 401k at work of about $125k. My wife has a $18k Rollover IRA and a $75k Roth IRA. We also have a taxable brokerage account worth $125k. We make too much to do a Roth contribution. We plan to convert her rollover IRA to her Roth and pay the taxes from our brokerage account. My question is, can we convert my wife's rollover IRA to her Roth IRA and also contribute to a non-deductible IRA and convert that to a Roth (backdoor style) in the same year or do we have to wait until next year to do the backdoor?

"Hey, Joe and Big Al this is Kyle from Georgia. My question is regarding some money that I have from an old employer 401k. So it's about $200,000 and it's all pre-tax. And when I left that employer, I moved it to my personal IRA. So my question is twofold. One, I can do Roth conversions on that money? We did it for the first time this year, and we were able to withstand the tax burden and we're in a high tax bracket and above the income limit to do regular Roth contributions. My other option is to take all that $200,000 and now I have access to my new employers 401k. If I should roll it there? And the reason being is I guess that the 200,000 is now sitting in a pre-tax account in my IRA, I can no longer make backdoor contributions, so no longer can put the 6,000 in and, and do a backdoor. So I'm wondering what you think is best. If I should just leave it there and continue to, I guess, Chunk at it till it's down to zero in, in all Roth, cuz that's

"Seeing as this is the Backdoor Roth Show, I thought I'd just ask you my question instead of doing my own research... If I were to do a Backdoor Roth conversion early in the year then change jobs later in the year and roll my pre-tax 401K into a traditional Roth, would this blowup the backdoor from a tax perspective given it's all in the same tax year, or do balances (or lack of tax-deferred IRA balances) at the time of the conversion matter? Thanks for your answer and this great show. Keep it up!

"Hi Big Al, my wife is on Social Security Disability Insurance, she will be full retirement age 66 & 4months on 3/26/2023. Her SSDI will convert to full retirement benefits in March. Question: Does she have to withdraw her FRB in order to receive delayed retirement credits? Will she be able to claim spousal benefits at her FRA and then claim her benefits at age 70? I am currently 60 & 4 months old. Question: Does my wife have to wait until I apply for SSRB at 62 for her to apply for spousal benefits or can she apply at her FRA? If I take my SSRB at 62, will I be able to suspend them at FRA 67 and apply for spousal benefits while receiving DRC’s until age 70? Will I have to apply for my Retirement benefits or will they start automatically at 70? Thank you for your guidance on these questions. Thank you, Gil & Linda."
